We're talking about torrent sites here and the banner is usually the first point of the site that you come into contact with, and i think should emphasise a little more fun and friendliness in relation to the type of place that you're visiting. Just my thoughts anyway.. not criticising your design as they are quite nice, just the context of them.

I understand completely. I take the whole "your designs have more of a corporate feel" bit as a huge compliment. Corporations seek to portray a sense of professionalism which is what I'll need when I get into the real design world where I'll be designing for businesses and the like. I agree that the context is a bit wrong, haha. If I were designing a website for an online store it would need to look corporate to gain a potential customers trust. No one wants to give their credit card number to a website that looks like most torrent trackers. In this sense, if the tracker doesn't look at least a little shady then it's probably run by Media Defender, haha.

Once again, thanks to everyone who has commented in this thread. It is much appreciated.
