I have been a avid user of BitSoup and The Pirate Bay for years. But occasionally I find myself staring at a Google search box….torrent + file.
This works OK but if you want to see all your results, you have to keep clicking back and forth to multiple torrent tracker sites. This is where Usniff comes into play.
Simply tell Usniff what you are looking for in the search box.
It will query 8 different torrent search engines including:
Transmission is a free and open source bit torrent client that runs natively on multiple operating systems and is available in many languages worldwide. Transmission is very lightweight and probably one of the best bit torrent clients around. Transmission was first released on September 15th 2005 and has came quite a long way since its first release.
If you use Ubuntu then you will most likely know of Transmission because it is the default bit torrent client.
Torrents are great, I think no one disagrees with me there. There are plenty of ways you can make use of torrents. But they have restrictions. As with all P2P downloads, you must use additional software and although they’re very simple to use, torrents will never be on the same level of ‘easy’ as direct download links.
This need for extra software may be trivial in most cases, but keeps the format away from platforms where it’s impossible to install this software. So what am I talking about? What platform doesn’t support torrent software? Well, I’m mostly talking about consoles, but also about mobiles.
I’m sure we’ve all come across the same problem time and time again. You need to send someone a huge file and your email service won’t accept it as an attachment. Gmail limits attachments to 10MB and most other email services are the same. So what are you to do?
Up until recently, I was uploading the files to my website and then providing the other person with the direct link. But to be honest, that was a pain in the neck because I then had to remember to go back and delete the files afterwards (and I have an atrocious memory!). So I started looking at Pando.
