Rarely does a piece of Torrent Search software make our headlines and qualify as newsworthy, let alone worth writing about. However, Bit Che is not your run-of-the-mill torrent search software.

So what separates Bit Che from the rest of the pack? For starters, it allows for private BitTorrent site searching (provided you have accounts to them). This is a monumental step forward in torrent searching development. Bit Che is also a great tool for:

Searching for hard-to-find torrents - In contrast to torrent meta search websites (that usually limit the querying to the top 10 public sites), Bit Che software implements many more sites in the search, with the ability to add others, and even add your own (for unlimited torrent searching).

Filtering of popular torrents - Torrent data is shown in the results, giving users the ability to quickly gauge what torrents are likely the best sources for a popular release.

Adding BitTorrent Websites to the Search bar.

Open Search plugins can speed up the process of searching for torrents without having to actually visit the Bittorrent websites first in order to do the torrent searching. Simply put, these are little additions to the search bar services that can be selected from within the browser. For example, you can add Mininova.org or BTJunkie.org to your list of available search criteria in your browser, and select them from the dropdown menu when entering a search string.

OUR PICKS

A torrent metasearch website sends user requests (queries) to other torrent websites and shows the results from all of them simultaneously. The premise works like this: just enter a keyword in the search field and it will query all of the torrent website sources and display the aggregated results. Sounds too good to be true? Think you’ve found the Holy Grail of torrents? Maybe. Maybe not. While proper torrent metasearching is great at searching for hard-to-find torrents, it is not something utilized by experienced BitTorrent users. The problems arise because of the lack of information provided by the metasearch. While great at providing aggregated data with loads of results, the specific details of the torrent are often sacrificed (and you’ll still have to visit the source website anyways to get the torrent, in most cases).

Another drawback to torrent metasearching is the lack of real-time results in the searches (of some sites). In the example below, at www.torrentastic.com, we searched for the movie Atonement - a brand-new DVD release on the P2P scene - found Dec. 23 on ThePirateBay.org. The torrentastic search was conducted on Dec. 26th - but the results are only updated to Dec. 7th at the latest, and doesn’t include this “DvDRip” version. Clearly not a great example of how to find newly-released torrents.

There’s truly not a lot of BitTorrent ’search’ software - heck, the websites that host the torrent files do a pretty darn good job of searching for torrents! Plus, there are torrent metasearch sites that show aggregated search results for various combined BitTorrent websites. But here’s a few software solutions that may be able to assist in finding torrents that you may not be able to find on your favorite sites.
