Google the index

Rapidshare is frequently used to transfer large video files. Programs, music, videos, and other such files are frequently available from download this way. By using google you can see what other people have posted for download.
The filenames are in the rapidshare urls; therefore, searching for these filenames becomes very easy. This is another excellent way to fill up your media collection.

If you enjoy finding stuff on rapidshare, you may also want to use this technique to beat rapidshare's time limits.

Just to get you started with an example. After the example, I show you the techiques for isolating video, music, or archive files. Enjoy the free stuff!

For example, if you want to see a bunch of 50cent songs (available for you to freely download)...
google: +inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de cent

To see all video files available on rapidshare...
google: +inurl:avi|mpg|wmv site:rapidshare.de

To see all archives and programs available...
google: +inurl:exe|rar|zip site:rapidshare.de

To see all music files available...
google: +inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de

This should show all files available...
google: .* site:rapidshare.de


filetype:pdf site:rapidshare.de Ebooks, eboek.


Addendum:
You can add "-deleted" to any of these searches to filter out some of the inactive files.
Props goes out to AlexTheBeast who got me started with using google to find free music and video files
Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" mp3
Using this string we are using the "index of" and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The mp3 tag on the end tells google to look for mp3s in these open directories. You can change this to wma or ogg if you wish.
Once you learn google search, you can find anything. Want some ebooks? Oh, yeah... google does that easily. Another power searching lesson coming right up.

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip)
What does all of this mean? The -inurl htm and -inul html is attempting to get rid of regular webpages and show just index pages. Looking for index of in the title is doing the same. Using the pipe ( | ) tells google to look for something OR something else. Here were are telling google to look for book or ebook directories... and we have listed several common ebook formats (zip, pdf, chf).


If you would like to look for a particular author or title just tack it to the end of your search.

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" +("/ebooks"|"/book") +(chm|pdf|zip) +"o'reilly"
