For those who are dedicated to downloading different number and types of files from the web, they will know perfectly well that torrent servers are not the only ones that can be used to find them, because in addition to this type of P2P sharing there are a few other servers that can be used in a conventional way from the web and without any type of specialized client (such as uTorrent o BitTorrent).
Many of these servers have been closed due to the infringement committed by sharing copyrighted files, there are still a few on the web that can even be found using Google.com itself. In this article we will mention a few alternatives that you can use if you want to locate a file that is of interest to you, as long as it does not involve any type of violation in the use policies and worse, in the violation of rights of copyright that such material might have.
Find files on the most popular hosting services on the web
What we have mentioned in the final lines of the previous paragraph has to be considered as a strict policy to be followed by whoever uses any of the methods that we will mention below, because at no time are we making the suggestion to use them to be able to commit crimes by downloading files that possibly have not been distributed publicly and legally. A first method that you can use for this type of specialized searches is based on Google.com, and you must follow the following steps to achieve this objective:
- Open your default internet browser.
- Go to Google.com.
- In the search space type the following:
Site:nombrededominio criterios de búsqueda
In the last line that we have mentioned, you must replace «domainname» with the exact name of the website to which you would like to carry out a specialized search, while the «search criteria» becomes the specific topic you want to find on said website . If we apply this to «Killer Vinegar» our example could be as follows:
Site:vinagreasesino.com imagenes gratuitas
Which will show a few results on articles where there has been talk of "free images" on the blog "Vinagre Asesino".
The domain name of «vinagreasesino.com» in the previous example can be changed to any other server on the web, this being rapidshare, uploading, gigasize among others. Now, if you want a more personalized search for these last services and a few more (similar) we suggest you use this search engine.
Once you go to its official URL you will find an image very similar to the capture placed at the top; There you only have to write the name of the file (videos, applications, electronic books or any other) and of course, activate the box that defines the type of file you want to find.
- 2. ShareDir
This becomes another interesting alternative, which shows a simple and minimalist interface where you just have to write the name of what you want to find on the different servers.
At the bottom left of the search space there is a small drop-down option (Advanced) that you should use to perform a personalized search only on a certain number of servers if you want to obtain immediate results.
- 3.FilesPart
When you go to the official URL of this alternative you will find an interface very similar to the previous proposals, although, with a few additional ones that may be of use to you. At first glance you will be able to find the space where you have to write the name of what you want to find in this type of server, existing at the bottom a few "search criteria" that have been considered the most sought after with this service.
To perform specialized searches you just have to activate the small box located in the lower left part of the search space, where in addition to select only the servers you want to use, You can also configure the service to show you only what has been shared in the last hour or in a certain time.
You can use each of these services that we have mentioned completely for free, although in some of them you will see that there is the option to subscribe to a premium account; If you download any of the files that you have found using these search engines, you must be careful when using some kind of installer, since they usually come included with the typical adware, something that turns out to be very annoying and difficult to uninstall later.
