Speckly: The torrent search engine
With torrents hiding in all corners of the 'net finding what you want can be difficult. Sure you could go to all the sites that host torrent files one by one or you could use Speckly and search all of them in one shot.
Speckly takes what you're looking for and searches most of the popular torrent sites for you. Speckly further breaks down your search results into categories to help narrow down your results.
In our test we searched for the very popular Linux distro Ubuntu which returned 312 matches. From this Speckly also listed that 198 matches were for the software, 39 for books and 2 for movies. Un-categorized results were listed as others.
Speckly results also lets you know how many" complete sources" (seeders) have the file as well as how long the file has bee online. This all helps in determining the success of retrieving what you are looking for.
All in all Speckly is a great option if you know what you want but don't want to spend the time hoping from one site to the next looking for it.
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Ouch! The two big spelling errors ("bee" instead of "been", and "hoping" instead of "hopping") are painful to look at.
As for Speckly, what makes it more special than, say, Nowtorrents or Pizzatorrent? I use Nowtorrents when I want to do multisite searching, and it seems to do pretty much the same thing.

Joey, thanks for the write-up, I think you captured the essence of Speckly: getting relevant, familiar and uncluttered search results to our users with no friction.
Doranwen, we believe the world is big enough for different approaches to search. While ours focuses on a minimalist experience to guide users efficiently to their destination others may get more mileage out of sites that give more technical detail. Let us know what we can do better and thanks for trying us out!
