Discover The Most Effective Methods To Easily Search For Files Online, For Free

By Glenys Topawien


We only go online for five things when it comes right down to it. We go online looking to be entertained, looking to interact socially, looking to conduct business, looking for news and information, and search for files. There is nothing that we typically do online that falls outside of those categories.

When it comes to the latter most category, which is to say 'search for files' many of us have a limited grasp of the options available.

##Search engine

The major search engines like Google and Bing are, for many of us, the gatekeepers to the entirety of the internet. The vast majority of all web traffic worldwide begins with a search query. If you are specifically looking for files to download, a good way to zero in on your goal is to actually include the word 'download' in your search query or include a file type suffix like pdf, avi, zip, mp3 etc. Go to Google and search for 'Constant Gardener download' or 'Subway Map pdf' or 'bohemian rhapsody mp3' and you will find files which can be downloaded.

##File sharing sites

One of the things that you'll quickly start coming across, if you perform Google searches with file extensions, are file sharing sites. These are web sites which are dedicated to the sharing of files. There are a large number of movie and TV show sites out there for example, which will enable you to download movies and full episodes of television shows from their servers straight to your computer.

##Bit Torrent Sites

You will also find Bit Torrent sites available online. These sites let you download torrent files, which are effectively coded keys that give you download access to specific files on other people's computers. Torrent downloads are highly efficient as they grab the file in question in small pieces from whoever happens to be online and switch from user to user as people log on and off.

##File Sharing Search Engines

There are also search engines available that exclusively query the various file sharing sites and index the results, enabling you to execute a file sharing search across a wide variety of sources. A great file search engine can end up saving you a whole lot of time and trouble and can also be an excellent way to discover specific file sharing websites of which you were not previously aware.

The next time you are going online to search for files, don't forget to try some of these methods. There are a lot of files out there if you know how to look for them.
