An email announcing TaffyBox hit our inbox this morning. It’s yet-another-BitTorrent service, but there’s a hook that makes it a really nice choice for the casual BitTorrent user – easy search combined with a Java applet BitTorrent client for downloading.
There are other services like BitLet that let you download torrents directly from your browser via a Java applet. But you need to already know the Torrent link (usually via a Torrent search engine) to start downloading it. With TaffyBox, you can search for the name of the show, song or whatever that you’re looking for, and click a button to start downloading immediately in your browser. Point and click downloads for those who find the usual BitTorrent clients complicated.
TaffyBox just ties search and download together, and the search results seem to come from BTJunkie, who also host the tracker.
Search Results For: “porn”, none.
yeah, I won’t be using that service.
Lol@this. No fapping for you!
+500
you have to type words like “creampie” instead of porn!
But as a good American boy I would never watch such videos
clever idea but I wonder how long a life it will have before the lawyers come calling…
well it says quite clearly that it is for legal torrents only
nice joke;)
That sounds funny. Cause I am downloading something that is not legal ( I refrain from calling it illegal – I ain’t one who does illegal stuff
).
One of the nicest combination’s of search and downloading. I usually use uTorrent but this looks nice an easy way to get torrent downloads.
The cease and desist clock is ticking
… and goes on
When I saw the big “search & download legal torrents” img header, I thought maybe they only indexed legit-torrent sites. Then I searched for “Windows 7″. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Yeah, this won’t go unnoticed by the copyright mafia.
+100 I wonder how tracking sites like these earn a living
Though I would like to see the comment of people who downloaded the stuff
Working decent so far.
Downloaded doesn’t update though, it’s stuck at 18.000MB.
Estimated Time Left is looks ok while Download Speed is picking up pace rather fast assuming it really is measured in KB and not Kb.
*Oh, it updated to 24.000MB just now. I guess Downloaded refreshes every 6MB.
people will be more likely to hit ‘n’ run with this service, though…
Will be legal question the P2P direct download?
well, failed for the java applet. But one thing is true, there’s piles of seeds
Their self-signed certificate is from the Netherlands, so maybe it’s legal there.
Read anything about BREIN shutting down TPB in the Netherlands lately? Downloading torrents is not as legal as marijuana yet
hmm? but u can already download torrents within the Opera web browser
and it is down already!
back up – clear your cache
Nice Speeds! I just download a movie in 33 minutes.
Right now it doesn’t return any results for me whatsoever. “Search Results For: “ubuntu” – No Results”
Downloaded something earlier and it was fast and unobstrusive… can’t wait for it to work properly.
WOW! This is too cool!
whats a torrent?
Turns out the site as stealing resources from BTjunkie.
