FilesTube: download MP3 and much more

With the increasing number of hosting and sharing sites, like Mediafire, Megaupload, Hotfile and so on, many new tools have started to appear for taking advantage of them.
FilesTube is, for now, probably the best tool you can find: a very good search engine, which crawls through all the hosting sites, searching for the files you're looking for. If you got tired with eMule, Torrent and oher similar softwares, or if you want to try a simpler and quicker way for finding and downloading files, I'd say it's a wise choice to take a look at that site.
FilesTube works almost like Google. You write the name of the file you're searching for, then hit "Search" and look at the results. After every search, FilesTube will give you a list of the sites where you can download the file you want. If someone uploaded it to a hosting site, of course.

For every result, you'll find some information which are very important to study, if you don't want to download the wrong file. As you will see, every link is composed by many parts:

• the file name, often with an extension (.mp3, .wmv, .mp4, .rar, .zip, and so on);
• the hosting site where the file is hosted: Megaupload, 4shared.com, Mediafire, Rapidshare and so on;
• the file extension, near the ext abbreviation;
• the file size;
• the date when the file was uploaded.

Remember to always check whether all the infos coincide, or not. If you're searching for a song, for example, check that the file extension is MP3. A RAR file is often used for archives: if you're searching for a whole album, it's highly probable you'll find it in a RAR file (or a ZIP file). Videos usually are MP4, or WMV, or also AVI. If you find an EXE file, it's safer to avoid it, because they could be a very bad surprise (aka a virus). Of course, if you're searching for a software, it will be an EXE file, but it's always risky to download them.
The date is important, because the hosted files are often deleted, for a copyright infringement. The newer the file, the higher the chances to find a working link for downloading it. Not always, but often.
When you have found the right file and you're ready to download it, you just have to click on the file name, or also on the "Download" line that you can find down to the right, under every link: they will bring you to the same page.
In the next page, click on the "Download" button, which you can find down to the right, near the file name. This will bring you to the hosting site where you can download the file.
The following steps will depend on the hosting site. Every site has it's own rules to download a file: on Mediafire you just have to click on "Click here to start download", on Megaupload you have to wait for 45 seconds, and so on. You'll learn all of these rules in no time, don't worry.
If you want to speed up the search, you can also try this Firefox add-on, which will add FilesTube to Firefox search bar.
