5 Best Torrent Search Engines + Google Trick for Torrent Search!

There are many sites which host torrent on Internet but most of them are spam sites or porn sites. So finding a torrent is hard and Google is not just enough to do this job. So here comes the list of search engines specially meant for searching torrents! At the end I will be sharing a trick to use Google for searching torrents!

Torrentz: This is my favorite. Simple and fast. Key feature is same torrent from different sources is not duplicated while showing results. So you get comprehensive search results. After selecting a torrent from results you can see user comments, various trackers, mirror links, related torrents & most important authenticity of that torrent.

It also have a dedicated movies & TV shows section. All torrent in these sections are verified. Additionally you can limit your searches to these sections. There is RSS feed option for these sections sections as well as for all search queries. So feed addicts will find torrentz most interesting!

ScrapeTorent: This also search across various torrent indexes. Key features are option to limit searches to particular category, option to filter dead-torrents & duplicates from results. They also have a forum if you need help. I come to know about this recently via Anil, a geek & fellow blogger.

PizzaTorrent: I use this when torrentz fails. It shows real-time results from 15 best torrent hosts. It doesn’t club similar torrents in a single group so you may notice much higher number of results. But it does grouping by categories which saves you from downloading wrong torrent! However it produces too many useless results for multiword queries.

YouTorrent: It also shows real-time torrent results. By default it gathers results from 10 different torrent hosts. You can add/remove various torrent hosts for fine grained results. in left sidebar it shows related searches as well as top searches. This also produces few extra result which user may find useless. I think by default it looks search keywords in torrent description. This may be useful sometime but most of the time user is interested in torrent names only to get accurate search results.

PinkTorrent: NOTE: This is for adults only. So skip this if you are minor according to laws in your county.

This is best for searching free porn torrents. I do not have more details about this but its best according to many reliable sources. Use at your own risk! Only thing about safety I can say never share your personal information with porn sites specially your credit card info!

Google: Yep! Google can be used smartly to search anything on the Web! Just add filetype:torrent as it is to your search query and you will get results restricted to torrents. I use this only when all above fails. Unfortunately due to high amount of spam in torrent world you will be disappointed most of the times!

There are many torrent search engines on net so it may happen I am missing your favorite one. Anyway let us know which one you like?

1.  1)Take a break every 60-90 minutes and look away from your computer screen.

2.  2)  If your adamant on staying on your computer for longer durations of time, decrease your monitor’s brightness.

3.  3)Eat Healthy – Avoid junk food the most you can.

4.  4)Take the stairs to your home or office, instead of the elevator (5 floors by stairs and the rest via elevator would be a good start)

5.  5)Quite possibly, the area of the body most affected would be the neck. Perform simple neck exercises (for eg. head roll exercise – google it!)

If not all of them, at least try to follow some of the tips given above. I’ve got just one statement to say, ‘Health Is Wealth.’

Download VLC Media Player 1.1 Rc1

VLC media player (Video lan player) is one of my favorite multi-media player because it renders most of the video and audio files without need of any extra codec. Be it, Windows or Macintosh, I use this on both the systems and I love it so far. If I have to select one multi-media player for my system, I believe it will be VLC media player.

Video Lan player

VLC media player released the latest 1.1 RC1 version which comes with few enhancements like:

1.    GPU and DSP decoding, depending on the platform

2.    Faster and more stable

3.    New codecs and HD codecs enhancements

4.    Webm and VP8 support

5.    MKV, mp4 and avi improvements

6.    More Extensions

7.    Important code cleanup and rewrite

8.    Interface and playlist reworked

Since it’s a RC 1 release, you won’t find this download link on the homepage of VLC media player. You can download the RC1 of V 1.1 from here.

Meanwhile do let us know which multi-media player do you use on your system?

InboxCleaner – Clean your Twitter Inbox messages in bulk

One of the most active social networks along with Facebook is Twitter. Twitter usually helps us really share and comment on interesting topics with our friends, followers, celebrities and even complete strangers. One very useful feature of Twitter is the Direct Message. This way if two people are mutually following each other on Twitter, they can send each other a message which is private. This is something like email.

While I find it very useful to exchange messages once in a while on Twitter, I have quickly piled up a few messages on my Twitter account. Deleting them all is quite troublesome as there is no feature on Twitter which allows me to delete messages in bulk.

InboxCleaner is a great online tool which helps delete messages quickly and also keep your Twitter profile clean. 

Just visit the InboxCleaner and login with your Twitter details. This takes us to a page with three options to delete messages. I could simply choose to Delete messages from a particular user or by content. In case you are not too picky a good option is to simply delete all messages.

I wish Twitter had this feature integrated within its website but I guess until then InboxCleaner is the best option.

7 Essential Applications after Fresh Windows Installation

After re-formatting our windows computer we get confused or many times forget to install some software applications which we need the most. Here I have complied a list of software which according to me are most widely used in our daily tasks. Although this list may change according to your use, I have listed the most widely used software.

1.  1) Drivers : You can install drivers from your motherboard CD or if you want latest drivers for your PC go to the official website of which the motherboard is and download the latest drivers and install them in your PC.

2.  2)Winrar : The most commonly used tool is Winrar. After installation of fresh copy of Windows, it is a must have tool.

3.  3) Anti Virus and Firewall : If you want a free antivirus product, I recommend using AVG 11 Free or Avast Home Edition. For a free firewall product, you can go with Commodo Firewall Pro.

4.  4)Download Manager : There are many download managers out there but one of my favorites is Free Download Manager, alternatively you can also go for Flashget.

5.  5)Tweaking Software : You must have a Windows tweaking application installed in your system. I use Tuneup Utilities 2009 and if you want a freeware I recommend you to useTweakNow PowerPack.

6.  6)Internet Browser : No doubt, Firefox still takes the first place. Although it is a personal choice when it comes to browsers. I personally like Chrome.

7.  7)Pdf Document Viewer : The most commonly used pdf viewer is Adobe Acrobat. If you want a light and easy to use reader than you can try Foxit.
