Passworded torrents? Dear god, where have you been?
As for poor quality etc. here's our stance: by default, the first search result should be a release of 1) reasonable quality 2) reasonably well seeded.
For power users, we're working on user settings to adjust your preferences for release groups, etc.
Of course, working from a .avi/.mkv/.mp4 file would be optimal because we'd be able to get a lot of codec info from there, but we won't go so far.
Their download speeds are often bad sadly, they really should provide a torrent. But it's free and they have some really interesting datasets, so it's worth the wait.
As the models proliferate, I guess we'll be finding out soon. The torrent has been going pretty slow for me for the past couple hours, but it looks like there are a couple seeders, so eventually it'll hit that inflection point where there are enough seeders to give all the leechers full speed downloads.
Looking forward to the YouTube videos of random tinkerers seeing what sort of performance they can squeeze out of cheaper hardware.
