Use the following Google search, all on one line.

Key:
“Your Key Words” = What you are searching for inside quotes, ie “No Doubt”.
“rapidshare|megaupload” = 2 heavily used downloading sites, replace as needed.
-torrent = remove any sites that have the word torrent in them, add any other word to remove if desired or if returned results need to be narrowed.
-inurl = Skip any sites that then the keywords that follow in the internet address (URL) themselves.

This search will find your Key Words that are linked to either rapidshare or megaupload downloading sites.
If you have other favorite downloading sites you can replace both download names in the search to be able to find links to another site.

This search is different than a site like Filesbot.  Filesbot searches for the keyword as a filename at Rapidshare.  Typically the file will be removed from the upload site if it’s copyrighted as per the upload sites rules.  The search I give above skips the upload site itself and only looks for links on the net that link back to the upload site.  So if a forum somewhere has a link to “The Beatles”, but the file is called TB1234.rar on rapidshare, my Google search will find it, but Filesbot won’t.

I have also added the “-torrent” so that you don’t get the Bizzillion web sites that index Bit Torrent files, but don’t really give you a link anywhere, as well as the -inurl sites.  Those types of sites are just traps for endless clicking and/or internet spyware and trojans.  I should have included a removal of the keywords “hack” and/or “warez” as those types of sites are typically useless, but there is a hard 10 word limit on Google searches.

I was looking for a list of the file sharing sites, but found a few sites that will also assist in searching for files.
* ShareMiners
* SharedFilesSearch
* OneClickFiles

There are many others, as well as many different downloading sites.  I couldn’t find a good list of downloading type sites.

Getting around the download timeouts is up to you to figure out.
