Google: Search Rapidshare For Free Videos, Music, Archives, and Other Files

Rapidshare is frequently used to transfer large video files. Programs, music, videos, and other such files are frequently available from download this way. By using google you can see what other people have posted for download.

    The filenames are in the rapidshare urls; therefore, searching for these filenames becomes very easy. This is another excellent way to fill up your media collection.

    If you enjoy finding stuff on rapidshare, you may also want to use this technique to beat rapidshare’s time limits.

    Just to get you started with an example. After the example, I show you the techiques for isolating video, music, or archive files. Enjoy the free stuff!

    For example, if you want to see a bunch of 50cent songs (available for you to freely download)…
    [list]google: +inurl:wma|mp3|ogg site:rapidshare.de cent

To see all video files available on rapidshare…

To see all archives and programs available…

To see all music files available…

This should show all files available…

Addendum:
You can add “-deleted” to any of these searches to filter out some of the inactive files.
Props goes out to AlexTheBeast who got me started with using google to find free music and video files.

  • AlexTheBeast

    Unfortunately i am still on dial-up... is there any dowload manager that can handle downloads from rapidshare?? getright won't work...

    and how do you guys know all this... is it a degree in IT or something...


    thanks...
  • davak
    I am on broadband so I can't tell you about download managers. Comeon and spring for the bucks... you'll never go back!

    I think AlexTheBeast sits around in his shorts, listening to music, and trying to figure out how to tweak google for everything free in the universe.

    Welcome to the site!

    It's just some problem in Google. Sometimes it gives you this screen, I'm not sure why. It'll probably go away on its own. Just try and search later after a while and you should be able to search without any problems.

    Hope this helps :D

    Google will spit this out when people are excessively doing certain power searches. When AlexTheBeast's searching for mp3s on google article hit big, google would spit this out a lot.

    Viruses and worms in the past have used power searches to find likely targets... so when google sees many similiar searches using similiar syntax, you'll see this warning.

    great, thanks for this. what would the code be if i wanted to search say for all PDF files with 'eBook' or 'EPSON' in the title for example.. or all mp3's with say 'maria' in the filename?.

    Try this to find PDF files with 'eBook' or 'EPSON'... here are a few that you can try...


    filetype:pdf intitle:eBook site:website.com
    filetype:pdf intitle:EPSON site:website.com
    filetype:pdf allintitle:eBook site:website.com
    filetype:pdf allintitle:EPSON site:website.com

    Obviously you need to change "website.com" to the website that you want to search in or get rid of the whole 'site:website.com' part... there are other possibiliies as well so just read the recipe to find out how you can mix and match search terms to get the best result possible.

    As for the mp3 just read over the recipe... here's an example you can try

    +inurl:mp3 site:rapidshare.de maria

    Hope this helps

    Sounds like the file isn't all right. It's probably a corrupt file. I've seen windows give similar errors usually for .exe installer files. Perhaps you could try a different version of the same file, or try downloading it again...
