How to Download Free Torrent Files Using Google

Posted on July 28th, 2007 by Jason

Google is a search engine that allows you to find anything on the Internet, no matter the format, the type or the content. That’s why you’re also able to find free torrents and download them straight from Google without having to find alternative sources. The torrent is quite a useful way to download anything because it doesn’t need a stand-alone server as the files are transferred between users. Basically, the files are stored on a user’s computer and then sent to another system using a simple .torrent file. This protocol is extremely useful and fast as it is able to download a huge file on multiple segments from several users in the same time.

At this time, there are a lot of companies that are trying to release their products in the torrent format because they don’t have a stable server or they want to allow users to download the product with full speed. The best example is represented by the Opera browser that can be downloaded into multiple formats including the .torrents extension.

Now, the Google search engine has several operators that allow users to search for a certain type of information or extension. “Filetype” was especially designed to help you find a specified extension, including .torrent. So, if you want to download anything from Google through the torrent protocol, you should type the following command in the search box:

filetype:torrent anything

The term anything must be replaced with the name of the file you’re looking for. Google will search the Internet for information and, if it available, it returns the torrent file that must be opened with your client to start the download. So, if you want to search for the Opera browser, you should type the following command:

filetype:torrent opera browser

No More Torrent Files on Google? | PCTips Box on 14 Aug 2007 at 6:52 am #

[...] Google indexes all kinds of files, no matter their format and provides one click access to them through the search engine results page. That’s why Google tends to become a real download source as the users found simple ways to save almost any type of file available through the search engine. The torrent files are just an example but it seems like the Mountain View company started filtering the results and already removed some results from their databases. TorrentFreak reports today that Google has deleted some websites included in their results which were displayed for a search query based on the term “torrent”.(How to Download Free Torrent Files Using Google) [...]
