TIPS AND TRICKS

How to Download ANYTHING for FREE Using Google and Rapidshare!

- Simple tip to download whatever you want

By: Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor

Rapidshare is one of the most useful Internet websites because it allows users to upload anything and share it with friends or anybody else. At this time, Rapidshare has a huge database of files as a considerable
number of users connected to it to upload music, pictures, movies and even larger files such as games or important documents. Although the owners encourage you to register and become a paying member, Rapidshare is also available for free so you can use it with only one restriction: you have a download limitation, meaning that you’re not able to download too many files for free. However, the website hosts an impressive number of files and it tends to become a real encyclopedia for music and movies. Obviously, if you don’t have the link of the uploaded file, you can’t access it; so it’s mandatory to get it in order to download the requested document.

Today, I’ll present you a simple way to search this impressive encyclopedia using the power of the best search engine on the Internet: Google. Basically, it can be done with ease because there are numerous technologies on the Internet that allow you to search Rapidshare but, if you really want to get relevant results, you must use Google. So, all you need to do is to enter one of the Google hidden operators that enable you to search a certain website. Let’s suppose you want to search for multimedia files with your favorite car, BMW. The search query typed on Google should look like this:

CODE
site:rapidshare.com "bmw"


The "site:" operator searches a certain webpage for the keyword mentioned after the command so, in our case, Google will look on Rapidshare for any file named with the BMW term. Additionally, you can use any of the commands mentioned by Tech-Recipes to search Rapidshare for certain files:

Music:
CODE
+inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de


Videos:
CODE
+inurl:avi|mpg|wmv site:rapidshare.de


Archives:
CODE
+inurl:exe|rar|zip site:rapidshare.de


Please note that you can use the above commands for any file format by modifying the extension mentioned in the query. Watch the video published below the article to understand the whole process of searching Rapidshare with Google.

How to Download ANYTHING for FREE Using Google and Rapidshare! - USER OPINIONS

Comment #1 by yaki on 2007-09-01, 13:47 GMT reply to this comment 
first, rapidshare is not a website, it's a filehost
second, rapidshare database in not searchable by search engines
access to links of uploaded files is not allowed, unless the uploader want so, doing this by sharing links to people on websites

so, google search websites with links to rapidshare, it doesnt search rapidshare

because of that, it is better to search links to rapidshare for bmw for example in the following way: bmw "rapidshare.com"
in that way you will find the webpage where the links were put by uploader, with the description of the content of the file uploaded, for example: bmw pics, or bmw clips from showroom

in that way you will allways know what is the content of the uploaded file, and not only guess by the title of the file in the rapidshare link
