What is URLBlaze v.2? URLBlaze V.2 is a multi file search system integrating the power of verified web search and the robustness of its decentralized, peer-to-peer search system. Rather then giving access to your hard-drive and share files, URLBlaze shares the address of files you have downloaded using your browser or download manager. This new technology is called URL Sharing. URLBlaze V.2 also does a parallel search over many major search engines to help you find the file you want. Every search result is verified! Use URLBlaze to search for any kind of file. Instead of downloading the files from personal computers (Napster, Gnutella, WinMX etc.), you receive an address to the file on an Internet server.
