5 Best Ways to Search Rapidshare, Megaupload and More!

We all know about the big free file hosting services out there. It seems like Rapidshare and Megaupload rule the roost but there are many inching their way up the list. The question is, how can you search through all the files uploaded to services such as these and others? here are five of the best ways to search through the Rapidshares and Megauploads of the world.

Files Tube

1. FilesTube.com - This resource might be my favorite of all the file hosting search options out there. All you need to do is type in what you are looking for, select the file type from the drop down box, and you are taken to tons of results. The sort by size feature also helps a lot in sorting the bigger files from the smaller ones you may not be concerned with (or visa versa).

Rapidshare Search

2. Rapidshare1.com - Not as pretty as FilesTube.com, but it does get the job done when it comes to searching for a file or document from Rapidshare.com. Just wish they had a bit more description per result. They do link you to both the page the link came from and the actual Rapidshare download link.

Shareminer Lite

3. Shareminer.com - This site uses the long and customized Google search string to search though and try to find what you want. Not as successful as the other two options, because since this Google search string has been in the wild a while it looks as if people have found a way to spam it.

Files Bot free file search

4. FilesBot.com - Promising to be a “file storage search engine” it does a good job at filtering out the bad stuff while still delivering pretty good results. Type what you are looking for in the search box, and then find the links. Simple user interface.

mega-download

5. MegaDownload.net - The last one on our list today features a pretty interface, and does a better job than most at making the search for information readable.

Are there more? Yes, but many of them are using the Google search string trick - so not really worthy for the list. If you think you know of one better than the ones on the list though, be sure to leave a comment or drop me an e-mail to let me know.

    we have a robust customized file storage search engine . A simple forum is also provided. If you have a file storage website please post it in the forum so we can add it to our list and it will form a part of our search domain.
