Softpedia Editor's Review for Torrent Harvester
|
Torrent Harvester is a free and useful software that will preform a search for Torrents on multiple websites
Written by Elena Opris on October 21st, 2011
Torrent Harvester (catchy name) is a file sharing platform which you can use to search for Torrents on multiple websites and copy their location details, after which you use a torrent client to download.
It does not sound so special at this point, but this software saves you the trouble of manually having to go through all torrent websites. It is extremely simple, and it consume minimum RAM (a bonus which is always welcomed).
After the unzipping and installation step, enter Torrent Harvester to find a minimal interface that has a search bar, a drop-down list for torrents, a help button, a filter button, and a search button. Everything is pretty self-explanatory.
Once you have input text and pressed the search button, Torrent Harvester will start going through the given torrents, and stop at nothing till every website has been looked at (except when you press stop).
After searching stops, you can either directly access the torrent website, or choose to download it via the torrent client found on your computer.
There is a small annoying part here, but nothing out of the ordinary: when you hover the mouse over the field with results, a yellow textbox keeps appearing and disappearing, whether searching is active or not.
Another huge disadvantage of Torrent Harvester is the fact that you can only search through the names of the torrents. Searching for text found in description is not available.
For example, if you wish to look up a song, Harvester will not find it, unless its title is included in the title of the torrent (which is not usually the case).
In the filter section you can select title, size, engine, category, date, seeds, and peers. We expected to find some categories to choose from (as most torrent websites support the same format), but you have to type it yourself.
And that's about it! Torrent Harvester is a quick online searching tool for torrents, and its ultra simple interface makes it easy for anyone to understand the concept behind it (even if they have had no experience with this type of online engine before).

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Since the previous release, many engines no longer work due to the fact that the sites they are based have been either redesigned, or no longer exist. I won't list all the new, removed, or modified engines. A complete list of engines release with this version can be seen on the Included Engines page. A few engines have been removed due to the fact I am unable to test them without an account. Some sites are now invite only and I do not have the time to chase up invites. I'll leave it up to the users to create engines for these sites and post them or their update sites to the Torrent Harvester Support Forum
· Moved website to http://TorrentHarvester.awardspace.com and created a new support forum at http://THForum.awardspace.com
· Created a Main Menu to allow for all the new options.
· Removed engines from settings and added to main screen via a toggle button "status". Engines can now be selected/deselected from here. This screen now also serves as a progress/status screen which will show ...
