I am and have been for the last few months only searching on random DSC numbers, as with the growing increase of good quality mobile phones with cameras, this produces some good results, but like other searches it is hit and miss.

I have tried all P2P software, but keep going back to Bearshare, I have not found better software for the use I want it for, as it is quick and it is easy to browse users files if required. I put up with the random crashes, although this is usually when I try and overload it ;)

Using emule I have found that all the videos require a licence view. The limewire is slow and not to much originality. To much junk. I will keep trying the emule and see what happens.

Anyone have a P2P program that can do *.3gp and *.3g2 searches? These are cellphone video clips. I used to find good things using those terms in Shareaza but the latest version doesn't allow these search terms anymore. I have to add a random letter or two but that eliminates filenames that don't have any letters in them. Those are the best, because they're the unedited files with the default filenames which is usually the date of the video clip.

Try oldversion.com for previous version's that allow these search term's ;)

Bearshare does
 

in Bearshare you can search for 3gp.

Happy hunting! :cool:

Winmx
 

Has nobody mentioned Winmx ? You have to share stuff of the same type as that which you wish to download or else you will end up in a queue forever - but it is a great community. People browse your stuff easily and trade with you - in return they jump you to the front of the Q. Most traders will match your speed on full DVD's. It's tricky to configure but worth it. This is where I found out how honorable the Japanese people are. I love japanese porn and when I have traded DvD's in the past with Japanese traders - my upload has finished first because I have good speed, even though they could cut my download and give more bandwidth to their other trades - they will continue forever until my file is finished and I have my DvD. I love that. Very trustworthy, I will do business with them any day. :)

Bearshare - The tutorial
 

Okay,

I'm getting a fair number of questions on how I find my 'True Find' pics. Figured I'd write a somewhat comprehensive 'how to' so I don't have to keep answering the same question over and over.

Maybe a mod will sticky this....apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

Anyone who has seen my posts should have a pretty good idea to what I consider a true find.

I search the gnutella network exclusively using Bearshare.

Bearshare is the only way to go (yes it has some adware). Same gnutella network as limewire, but much better search filtering capabilities....a must for filtering out all the spam files.

Here are some things to do as soon as you get started:

Create and save various searches. Then run these searches over and over. Things change even minute to minute. When creating searches, do the following.

- Think of key words that people might put in the name their files. Nude, naked, private, etc.

You can also search for generic digital camera file names like IMG_, 100_, etc. This requires a bit more hunting and pecking.

Search for names.

If you happen across a pic of a naked guy that looks like it could be a true find, investigate further, maybe he also has pics of his naked girlfriend/wife.

- filter your searches (this is what makes Bearshare so powerful).

- set the Size at least to 200kb to help eliminate spam

- Hide Files with more than 5 words in the file name (huge for eliminating spam).

- Set up global key word filters (you can also filter key words per a search, i don't really use this) to filter out celebrity names and words like ****, etc. (unless you want these files, though they aren't typically a true find type file)

- if the files returned have multiple hosts, they aren't what I consider a true find and I ignore them (note: some of these files will look like true finds, and at one point probably were, but since they are now on multiple machines, I don't consider them a true find, your opinion may differ).

Once you find some files that look like they could be what you are looking for, right click on the file and Browse Host to see all the files on that computer. If the browse host fails or only returns a few files, try Browse Host again and again (note: sometimes you simply will not be able to browse the host).

Once you get comfortable with doing things and figure things out, you will start to get a pretty good feel if you've got a true find or not. For example, you come across a file you think is a true find, you do a browse host only to find a whole bunch of spam type files with 15+ words in the file name. I stop and move on at this point, maybe you won't. All depends what you are looking for.

Now for the advanced stuff, which I only recently discovered.

In the options menu under the searching tab, there is a checkbox labeled "Hide non-matching results". UNCHECK this.

You will now notice that your search results do not always contain the search term you searched on. For example, you search for 'nude', but some of the results do not contain the word nude in it.

Check these files out!!! I've had tremendous luck since I started using this method. As far as I can tell Bearshare has partially implemented searching based on the folder name vs. the file name, but it only works when "Hide non-matching results" is unchecked.

Now to make things even better, you can add the 'path' as one of the columns displayed in the result set. Right click on one of the columns to add it. Now, nothing will display in the path, but that's okay.

When you find a file described above and do a browse host, hight light the file you've download and click the path column to search by path. Now,if I'm correct, you've just sorted by the path on the host computer and chances are good that all the files in and around the highlighted file are what you will be looking for. Again, this has worked very well for me

Whew, that is it for now. Good luck and let's see those results here.

Thanks. As you know I search bearshare exclusively also. I did not know about the non-matching results. Thanks again.

Good tutorial Joe90. I moved it to the support forum, however, as that is where other posts of this type are.

other key...(for emule )
 

other key ..... " stolen pics from limewire" (for emule or on edonkey network for other programs like shareaza)
i have noticed many many files with this key ! :rolleyes::D:cool:;)
