Torrent Finder Widget

Torrent Finder Widget is a tool developed for the Yahoo! Widget Engine that enables you to look for a specific torrent on the most popular websites, courtesy of Torrent-Finder.info. It can be easily installed and set up, even by users with little or no experience in computer software.

The interface is based on a user-friendly frame that you can move to any position on the screen with the help of the mouse cursor. All you have to do is write an item to look for and hit the Enter key or click the "Go" button.

Results will be brought up in the default web browser on the Torrent-Finder.info website. You can include or exclude websites to look into (e.g. The Pirate Bay), as well as ask Torrent Finder Widget to load all pages and on click, to search in tabs and frames.

Other options of the widget let you log into private websites with your account details, update the site list with the click of a button, visit Torrent Finder, as well as access the Torrent Finder forums to get additional information.

As far options are concerned, it is possible to pick the number of logos to show on the sites list (or hide it), along with the total searches to keep in history (between 10 and 100). Thanks to the default Yahoo! Widget Engine features, users are able to set the frame to stay on top of other windows, ignore mouse events and prevent dragging, as well as to change its opacity level to a predefined value, ranging between 20% and 100%.

As expected, the gadget has minimal impact on system performance, running on a very low amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the Yahoo! platform to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. We have not come across any issues in our tests.

Unfortunately, the Yahoo! Widget Engine project has been discontinued for a while, so Torrent Finder Widget shall not be receiving further updater. Other than that, the tool should please all users who frequently download torrents, since it greatly reduces time spent looking for them.
