Speckly – Torrent Search Simplified
http://speckly.com/
Speckly’s mission is to make the process of finding media delivered through BitTorrent easy for everyone. They believe that BitTorrent provides an enormous opportunity for content producers as a powerful distribution mechanism and window to consumer demand. Part of that equation is making BitTorrent searches relevant, fast, and easy to understand. Just as the average person doesn’t know how search engines rank web pages, a person doesn’t need to undertstand how peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies work, learn P2P lingo such as ‘seeds’ and ‘peers’, and why those terms matters. From this simple concept, Speckly was born to help bring P2P into the mainstream. The Speckly search will help you find files based on the BitTorrent (BT) communication protocol which is an open peer-to-peer (P2P) network. In general, P2P networks provide an effect and efficient way to move large files through a distributed network of affiliated files. Their mission is to provide you with an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand website to find BT files. First, we stripped out the P2P lingo to provide you with search results in a simple and easy to understand format. As such, BT veterans may not be familiar with our representation, so please read on. When you type in your search term(s) and click on ‘Search’, Speckly will display a list of file results based on your search. All you need to know is that: (a) A minimum of one complete source (aka “Seeds”) is required for the file to be available for download. In general, the more source files that are available, the quicker your downloads will be; and (b) Partial sources (aka “Peers”) will eventually be Source Files when the file has been downloaded by those persons. Second, you will need a BT software client on your computer to download files. There are many BT software clients available on the Internet with different features depending on your needs. After searching on Speckly, click on a link that matches your interest and you will be directed to the website with the file. Download the file with your BT client.
