The headline doesn't make much sense. There's still a database, what changes is simply where it's stored when in use. "Torrent Website w/o DB Server" might work better.

That aside, would this method scale? 135,000 torrents doesn't seem comprehensive, so I would expect real world use to have many more. Maybe a different SQLite db for different categories?



Since it's search is just based on prefixes, you could probably just alphabetically partition the databases.
