Emule and Torrent search with google

Its rather easy to search the web for p2p files without the need to register to one of the millions of bittorrent and emule sites out there. Before I start, I encourage no one to search for copyrighted files and download them, as everyone knows, there are other non-copyrighted files for both networks available.

To get started you will need a torrent client like Bitcomet and / or an Emule client

Torrent search

1. Google: The basic search would be to simply use the filetype:torrent string to find all indexed torrent files in the google cache. Unfortunatly this is no longer working, google needs at least one other keyword to display results. To achieve this you do the torrent search this way: “name you are looking for” filetype:torrent

2. Yahoo: Yahoo still lets you search for the filetype:torrent string without the need to an additional keyword. Of course, the results are to many to be specific so be advised to also use another keyword with the filetype command.

3. Msn: the filetype:torrent command is not working with Msn, until now I have not found out why that is the case. Maybe they restrict the filetypes you can search for to some common ones. That means torrent search is not working for msn this way.

Another possibility would be to restrict your search to one of the known torrent sites, I won´t name them in the article, because most of them have mostly copyrighted torrent links on their sites. The command to search a specific site would simply be site:url filetype:torrent keyword(s)

Emule / Edonkey files:

Thats a tricky one, you can´t search for filetypes because there are none, edonkey / emule uses its own protocol, which looks something like this ed2k:// aso.

What we will have to do is search for this string (ed2k) and we will find sites that use this in their websites. I recieved the best results with google but yahoo and msn should work as well, you probably will have to tweak your keywords a bit.

keyword(s) ed2k

thats a pretty basic search though.
