How many of you guys use applications such as Limewire, BearShare, etc to download music share legitimate files between anyone who wants it your friends and family online? Well, there is apparently an easier way to find stuff you like, all from the comfort of our favourite search engine Google.
In the search box, simply type:
“band” last modified mp3 “index of” -html -htm -php -asp
Where you replace the “band” with the band or artist you are looking for. Now ladies and gentlemen, I in no way promote or endorse illegal downloading of music or anything for that matter, just thought this was really interesting and can be used for other purposes also.
Instead of looking for files of type mp3, you could do a search for .avi files, or .mid’s or .zip files too. Here are some sample search strings looking for different file types:
“searchTerm” last modified avi “index of” -html -htm -php -asp
“searchTerm” last modified mid “index of” -html -htm -php -asp
“searchTerm” last modified zip “index of” -html -htm -php -asp
Simple as that, cool huh.
Wow ..wish i could travel back to 2001 just like you.
Next you’ll be teaching us about a new protocol called FTP.
