About FindFiles.net Bot

The FindFiles.net Bot is designed to check the availability of publicly accessible files on the internet. It operates transparently and adheres to best practices to minimize server load and maximize efficiency.

Key Features

• Identifiable in Logs: The bot shows itself in the referral URL pointing to this page https://www.findfiles.net/bot, ensuring transparency for server administrators. It is not intended to generate referral spam.
• HTTP2 Efficiency: The bot uses multiplexed HTTP2 HEAD requests to check file availability in bulk. A single connection is used and closed immediately after the response.
• Public Files Only: It only checks publicly available files, respecting server permissions and avoiding private data.
• Rate-Limited Requests: The bot ensures a minimum interval of 10 seconds between requests to the same server, reducing any potential server strain.
• Excludes HTTP1.1 Servers: HTTP1.1 servers are ignored, as they require additional server resources and are less efficient for bulk operations.

Why Transparency Matters

The FindFiles.net Bot is designed with full transparency to ensure trust with website administrators. By clearly identifying itself in the referral URL, server logs can easily trace the origin of the requests. This helps administrators differentiate between our bot and potentially harmful crawlers.

Intended Usage

The bot primarily checks the availability of files that users search for via FindFiles.net without downloading or storing their content, strictly adhering to public resources. However, to enhance user experience and ensure safety, we may download images and videos for classification purposes, verifying their suitability for search. Additionally, we may download executable files to check if they are safe to use, ensuring a secure experience for our users.
