Although I do not have experience in the field of network programming, we encourage you to learn network programming using Internet component in Lazarus, like Indy or Synapse. Cheer...

You can search for files on the Internet using protocols like FTP, HTTP etc. However you need to understand a bit of network programming to use these protocols. Lazarus has components like Indy, Synapse and LNet that give you access to these protocols. Install any one of them & then search for documentation & examples.

The link below is from a book that shows how to use Google to search the Internet (HTTP) for websites matching a keyword from inside a Delphi application.

You'll need to be persistent because there's a learning curve and documentation is not easy to come by. However, it is well worth the effort.

There are some useful references on the net, but i usually read here. The site gives more accurate and step by step procedures especially on troubleshooting. Guys here are very nice and cool.
