Torrent Hunting with Google

From the category of “why didn’t I think of that?”  Google Torrents has been launched.  It uses a Google Co-Op custom search engine to help you find Torrent files.   From the website:

The day Google officially released Google Co-op Custom Search Engine, I immediately had an idea to put this to good use. Torrents are unmistakably a much searched commodity on the Internet. However due to the gray lines of legal issues it falls into, no big name like Google Inc., Ask Jeeves, MSN, Yahoo! or AOL have bothered to provide a search solution for torrents.

However, a horde of torrent directory sites and tracker sites have sprung up. Searching all these sites is a tedious job. You know the torrent you are searching does exist. Searching for it on 10+ different sites is a big pain. Google Torrents is a torrent search engine made using Google Co-op’s Custom Search Engine.

This is in no way officially Google. The dictionary word ‘google’ refers to the verb ’search’, meaning “search torrents”. All the same it does harness Google’s database and search algorithm (just like any other Google search).

Make sure  that you download torrents responsibly with full awareness of all applicable laws.
