"Although the entertainment and software industry is crying foul over torrent trackers, dubbing them little more than havens for piracy, the fact is that not all users are happy about pirated content and some of the effects it inevitably has on torrent sites. Most of them are overwhelmed with misleading, huge ads, intentionally riddled in such a way that even an experienced surfer has a hard time finding the actual download link. Yes, many users frequent these sites to find content they don't intend to pay for, but in the end many of these same users would pay just to get rid of all the nuisances they have to endure while doing it. \nAnd, since the entertainment industry didn't learn how to capitalize on this, someone else might. Enter Speckly. It's a Google-like, ad-free torrent search site which strips all the unnecessary bittorrent-specific language from the results, and simply presents a long list of results, together with the number of complete and partial sources. This, in fact, is all you really need to find the torrents you need. The only problem, unfortunately, is that you still have to find your way on the actual torrent tracker sites, but at least the unpleasant experience is partly circumvented.\nOf course, without ads there is no revenue, but a little bird tells us that Speckly has a business model that's not based on ads. In the meantime, they'll probably quickly gather a large following precisely because of the fact that their product is very simple and ad-free. If they manage to monetize it, torrent search might become a lot less ugly affair than it is now, and again, it'll be one more point on the scoreboard for the pirate team. \n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
