FileMasta [ABANDONED]
A federated search application for discovering interesting files that are being shared online, such as video, music, books, software, games, subtitles and much more. All data is crawled by od-database which collects information about the contents of servers worldwide. We don’t search file contents.
We host no content, we provide only access to already available files in the same way Google and other search engines do.
I’m currently looking for someone to help this project, like speeding up the loading and getting faster search results. Please email me if you think you’d like to work on this with me.
Installation
Download and run the latest version of the installer from the releases page.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have found the files I need, but I cannot download them, the link does not work. Why?
There could be several reasons for that:
- These files were recently removed from the server they were located, by the owner of the files or by the owner of the server.
- The server that contains the files has a limit of maximum number of concurrent users, and the limit has been reached. You can try to download the files later when some users are disconnected.
- The server where the files are is turned off or is not connected to the Internet at the moment.
- The owner of the server has put a restriction on downloading these files.
How can I download files from FileMasta? Do I need any special program?
You don’t need a special program but it is very recommended. For example, if you just open the link in your web browser you can’t see what is happening exactly between you and the web server (see previous question). So I would recommend to use a good web client that supports queuing or your favorite download manager, when you located the file you want to download just copy the link and paste it in your web client or whatever, that’s it.
