Most of you may already know about this by now but for the benefit of the doubt, i’m just gonna post about it anyway. For those of you who don’t know.
I use a Mac. And there aren’t that many good Kazaa-ish Napster-ish Morpheus-ish apps available for Macs. Well, there’s Limewire. And Mactella. But they all suck. So there isn’t really any easy way for me to go searching for and/or downloading mp3s successfully. Save for just hitting up google.com with a moby mp3 or a reel big fish mp3 or a stone temple pilots mp3 search or whatever.
And most of the time i’ll just end up with really shitty search results.
But have you ever tried entering index apache mp3 moby instead.
Or index apache mp3 reel big fish.
Or index apache mp3 no doubt.
Or index apache mp3 ludacris.
Or… well. You get the point.
Try it. index apache mp3 blablablahwhateverartistblablablah.
You probably stumble upon site indexes of people’s online mp3 collections.
Like these ones.

Oftentimes, I have found it entertaining to search for, as an example:
index apache "cgi-bin" "password.txt"
Ha. Hahhaha.

wow, very clever. 🙂
another good use: remember one line from a song you want to know the artist/title for, and just "put it in quotes" + lyrics, and chances are you’ll find the song… unless its really rare.
hehe, you can use the index apache idea for more than just mp3s.

e.g index apache pics neve = neve campbell gallery!

What does the "apache" part of that search command do?
#5 | Comment by Eric — July 28, 2002 @ 8:48 pm

Have you tried Acquisition or Fern? They both work much better than that shitty Limewire in OS X.

have you ever tried ftp???
is kind of a cool way to download anything, unless you need to upload to get credit.
im sure there are plenty of ftp clients for mac.
#12 | Comment by vhw — July 29, 2002 @ 1:58 pm
well, the issue is moreso with finding ftp servers to connect to.
yes, there are a fair number of means of obtaining ftp server lists, but they are somewhat hasseling if you’re not familiar with where to obtain them.

Ok, thanks.
Now everyone will tell someone else, and it’ll become commonly known, and people will start defining custom index pages to prevent that, and…
Sigh.
