FilePursuit Finds Amazing Files All Year Round, Not Just at Christmas

People looking for all kinds of files tend to visit file-sharing sites for their fix but there is another way. FilePursuit is a web and Android-based service that trawls the Internet looking for open directories and it does an incredible job. Today, TorrentFreak catches up with its creator to find out where it all started.

[...] What FilePursuit does is trawl the Internet looking for web servers that are not only packed with content but are readily accessible to the outside world. This means that a search on the site invariably turns up treasure troves of material, all of it for immediate and direct HTTP download.

[...] So the big question remains – What will you find under the tree today?

Use at your own risk.

    (((Google))) was always evil. Just that in the beginning their service was designed to become the largest and biggest search engine. It used advanced algorithms and hardware that is 30 years more advanced than the fastest hardware we use today. Hence it won the race ... and then the censorship started. And today we pay the price for lack of choice.
