Thooltje's / Lycos' FAST MP3 Search delivers the most up-to-date view of the available MP3 files on the Internet.

To achieve this level of freshness, we first need to find all the FTP servers that contain MP3 files. To do this, FAST has a general-purpose automatic algorithm looking for files.

Due to the unstable nature and limitations on the number of users of many of the MP3 sites, it is important to rank the MP3 search results so that results from the servers that are most likely to be up and accessible are put on top of the list.

In order to achieve this, FAST has implemented an exclusive process that we call the FAST MP3 Server Reliability Guide. This unique server reliability rating system guarantees that you get the freshest MP3 server results available.

FAST frequently check on over 1,000 MP3 servers. Based on inquiries to these, servers are assigned the highest rating of 5 stars down to the lowest rating of 1 star. A 5 star server is very likely to be up at the moment, while a single star server is likely to be down.
