The idea is not by any means new; you could do this before by using certain types of queries (simply adding "filetype:torrent" to your query works), but it's a nice time to spotlight the fact that yes, you don't really need sites like Mininova or The Pirate Bay to find torrents; you can simply use Google which crawls thousands of torrent tracker sites, big and small, and get direct links to torrents. Want a screener of current hit, X-Men origins - Wolverine? Use this Google query and you've got it.
