Mp3? Mp4? Avi? ? All you need is Google :)

Hey there,everyone.pLasma here.I found a really interesting way to download videos,mp3s directly using Google.Looks like the big brother of Search engines has something known as Directory services to use its crawler to go through the URLS it lists.I have heard of "directory services" before(remember seeing it on the net as well in Forouzon ;))Basically,all sites have a directory(group of files) called "index of" which contains everything the site has.So if you can search this "index of" directory you will be able to get direct links for the file(mp3/mp4/avi) you want.And what better way doth we know to search a site's directory?We'll call this the "index of trick"...

OK,enough sermon,on with the show.

1.Go to www.google.com.
2.In the Search box,type this EXACTLY(you need to leave spaces as I've done):

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) your_song_name

Click Search.You should be getting a whole load of searches.Lets see what happened when I put in "sivaji" in the place of your_song_name.

There.You get a whole directory listing of sites that have Sivaji songs.Cool huh?

One note:If your search string consists of more than word(unlike "sivaji"),its better to put a period(full stop) between the words.

For instance,

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) akkam.pakkam

Got it?

You can take this even further.

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) akkam.pakkam -html

The "-html" i.e. "minus html" means that you're telling Google to leave out all searches of type html.This makes Google to list results that have direct links,without displaying web pages.

Most of the links I got through this method are FTP ones and most of them are ultra fast-faster than any P2P networks like Limewire.This should be helpful for those who have an aversion for P2P software.And of course,this should come in handy when you aren't allowed to use P2P networks(like in our college).

Have fun!
