Speckly Simplifies BitTorrent

What is Speckly?

It is a new BitTorrent search engine whose purpose is to make file-sharing experience simpler. It does a great job at searching all of the main BitTorrent indexers and trackers, The Pirate Bay, MiniNova, isoHunt, BT Junkie, SeedPeer, Monova, TorrentReactor, FullDls, LegitTorrents, and Vuze included. Although you are not able to choose the type of file you want to search for, after the search is complete you have the possibility to sort this information.

For someone who’s used to (or wants) a nice look Speckly’s interface may seem too…basic. This time you’ll only have the logo and a search box to charm your eye.

As quoted by Slyck, Ken from Speckly.com said: "Our mantra is (a) relevant, (b) familiar, and (c) simple. It's too easy to provide a lot of BitTorrent specific information and lose many potential users. As a result, we tried to keep on search themes that people are familiar with."

It seems that there’s more than meets the eye with Speckly. Ken gives further explanations about the site which is "run on a LAMP stack and developed using handcrafted HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript. No off the shelf libraries were used in order to keep the code as streamlined as possible. The intention is to have the server do as much of the work as possible rather than using scripts on the user's machine do any of the sorting or formatting; this makes the site very responsive across searches. "Flat files" (vs. databases) are used to keep track of search results yielding an architecture that can scale with minimal administration."

Sometimes, simplicity just seems to go underrated due to an increased trend that asks more than everything for loads of features. Perhaps savvy file sharers would settle for something more than Speckly has to offer, nevertheless, its users (beginners or advanced) will find that it is indeed worth your while.
