Slashdot is reporting that Bram Cohen has launched the Official BitTorrent Search Engine. Here’s what Slashdot had to say:
The official BitTorrent search has debuted. The search engine was built by BT inventor Bram Cohen. The question? Will he get sued? The BT search seems to be down right now. (It’ll really be down after this story is posted…) Spiegel has more (En): “Naturally other sites such as Bitoogle, Isohunt, SuprNova or Torrentspy have tried before, but either they became fast a goal of legal attacks on the part of the industry or they furnished rather durchwachsene [??] results. BitTorrent search however proves with first tests [that it is] as…Google…fast. The results come from a large number [of] more well-known and unknown… sites, and…permits sufficient restricting to the inquiry, in order to obtain really relevant results.”
Sure enough, the search is down for me now, but I would love to test it out. I wonder if the elitetorrents.org story had anything to do with their search being “down.”
