• biggest multi-language subtitle database (website available in more than 30 languages)
• no registration needed to download or upload subtitles
• advanced search (by genre, imdb rating, year...)
• search for more than one language
• search for many subtitles simultaneously (​multi-search)
• get search results by mail or rss/atom
• site is "open" (you can get every page as XML)
• support for third party applications (no need to visit webpage for downloading subtitles)
• Media Player Classic ​ISDb support
• can act as a subtitle server for other subtitle sites
• we are looking for your feature requests (site is still in development, use this trac to report new ideas, bugs...)
