TorrentRover - Torrent search tool

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

TorrentRover - Torrent search tool

#1 Post by webfork »

A power search tool with lots of nice extras. Doesn't come with a torrent client.

Synopsis
TorrentRover is a search tool that helps you find and download your favorite music, movies, TV shows, applications, and more. In short, you can search, manage, and download torrent files right from your desktop.
Setup
Download portable version, extract and run TorrentRoverPortable (TorrentRover.exe seemed to also work fine)

Status
Portable and stealth (Note: This may be an incomplete test. In testing, opening the Tools - Preferences menu caused the program to close down.)

License
Freeware

Websites
http://www.torrentrover.com
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/F ... over.shtml

Requires
dotNET 3.5

Screenshots

Edit:

You can setup Transmission to auto-download from a given folder.

Hi webfork,

I have tried to test in depht TorrentRover, but Windows 8.1 won't works at all :oops:
So I have used 'Registry Finder' with the keyword 'TorrentRover' and it has found 3 (three) entries:
-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\TorrentRover_RASAPI32
-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Tracing\TorrentRover_RASMANCS
-> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\SQM\Apps\TorrentRover.exe
but no key related to the program.
So I evaluate this program as portable (but I can create a yaP launcher for these keys).

Meaning it's portable but not stealth?

Thanks for checking my work.

Exact.

I have prepared a yaP launcher (thanks to tproli). :)
See to Portable Freeware Development.

Note that by default aren't checkmarks to all Search Engines:
go to Preferences -> Advanced Search and checkmark to:
- isoHunt
- BitSnoop

It seems that from version 1.0.0 on TorrentRover has become crippleware.
From TorrentRover version history:
Added new Reward/Payment model and popup
From TorrentRover FAQ:
Are there any limitations in the free version?
- Yes, there is a limit of 3 Free downloads per day, but you can get unlimited Free downloads by sharing TorrentRover on Facebook and Twitter. This can be repeated as many times as necessary, making TorrentRover effectively free forever. For those who don’t want to be bothered, subscription options are also available.
Version History
FAQ
The latest version of TorrentRover which has no limitations seems to be 0.23.5, which is still available for download:
- Installer
- Portable
