The site is a Metasearch Engine, and does not host any torrents itself. The search feature is unique in that it not only provides details of available torrents, but also provides information about the film being searched for, such as genre, rating and plot information.

The name comes from a combination of two words: flicks, and flux. Flicks is a slang word for films, and flux means flow, which is also a meaning the word torrent has.

As of March 1, 2007, according to Alexa Internet the site is the 404,393 most popular on the web [cite web
