Advanced file repository A collection of strings for the (rapid)share oriented seekers

Surely peer-to-peer is a very useful resource, expecially for an average user who has no time or searching skill, or is too lazy to find his targets in an other way. But, in my opinion, P2P has a lot of disadvantages and I use it only as a last chance: it is slow, sometimes require several days for downloading and you are never sure of what sort of material you obtain. Moreover, censors and politicians apply the equation peer2peer=enemy and focus their stupid wars against emule oriented users. So, a very good alternative are file hosting server à la rapidshare, megaupload and so on. Infact with the right webbit, you can find whatever you want: music, movies, software, books, and also nice places like blogs or forum to start for a new search.

Of course you can (and should) avoid those javascript countdowns or IP checks renewing your dinamic IP. Alternatively, if you are behind a firewall at work, you can use a web proxy or (crap) services like this.
Anyway, in the table below, I've collected several strings you could use to query your preferred search engine. You may use such a string joining the name you are looking for:
e.g. +"4shared.com/dir/" +"purple rain" .

At the bottom of the page you'll also find two ready-to-use forms in order to select the high-recall (90%) repository services either using Google or Yahoo. Enjoy!

Statistics (Take it cum grano salis eh!)

Which is the "best" search engine for this kind of matters? Google or Yahoo?. I've seen it is very difficult obtain a trusted value because both Google and Yahoo claim always a lot of results (probably faked) and often they change day by day.
Anyway appending "&safe=off&sa=N&filter=0&start=990" on Google url and "&dups=1&b=900" on Yahoo, and testing all the strings above in both Search engines, I've obtained this:

1) For 141 queries (listed in the table), only 32 are mastered by Google, 7 giving more or less the same results, while the other 102 queries give more results with Yahoo. So: generally when you search for file sharing, Yahoo is better.

2) Either with Google and yahoo, the 90% of the total results are obtained with about 'only' 20 different hosting server. Therefore you could as well forget the others and, using directly the top twenty, you'll probably (or surely) find your target.

Here the forms with the 'high recall' hosting server. Type your target, choose your preference and enjoy. Ciao.
