Learn how to use search engine operators and drill through google.
Someone just posted an in-depth book about google operators a few days ago. Search for it and grab it, it will help you. It's in the freebie section.
I don't have time to write a tutorial on this right now, but here is a common way to find a download/confirmation page.
Use these search strings in google.
Pay attention to what is in quotes, what has a space, what doesn't etc. It's important.

Keep in mind that's a very basic example. There are many different ways to drill google as well as other search engines and many different types of operators that you can use.
Just try a couple of different searches. You'll be amazed at what you can find. Many amazon S3 buckets are wide open too and listed.
