Torrent search engines |
| A torrent search engine is a website which provides torrent files or torrent magnet links. As stated in Wiki, "There are many different BitTorrent websites. They typically contain multiple torrent files and an index of those files. In a typical scenario, a user would enter such a site and browse or search for the content they desire, based on the torrent descriptions posted at the site by other users. If a torrent with the sought content is found, the user could download that torrent." Adding search engines to the app is not necessary if you prefer using a web browser to visit the torrent website to search torrents directly. You can click on the magnet link or the http link to the torrent file on the website, to initiate a torrent download. Adding search engines to the app, and using them inside the app, enable you to switch to different search engines quickly. You may also use the magnet link menu to find magnet links with ease. If the search link is a RSS link, the search results will be listed in a clean, simple list, rather than displaying in a crowded page. |
