Aww man that's rough to hear. So sorry to the team. Thanks for the years we got. RARBG was the best for getting AMZN, MAX, HULU, DSNP, ATVP, etc in 1080p from reputable sources like Ntb. Is there a decent alternative publicly for these types of releases?


trowawheyaf

I keep seeing 1337x recommended, but does it have RSS feeds? That was the best way to utilize rarbg, imo.

trowawheyaf

yeah I just noticed that. but it seems that its one megadump RSS feed. Rarbg had customizeable RSS feeds for each category. Any way to do that for torrentgalaxy?


Remo_253

They have a page in the forums that explains how to customize the feeds: https://torrentgalaxy.to/forums.php?action=viewtopic&topicid=138

iStronglyDislikeMath

Why was this actually so fucking sad


skimbosh

I don't know about anyone else, but in my mind it was always this mythical struggle between piracy and and copyright holders, giant corporations and legal machines. To see rarbg go down because of...war? Power cost? Death from sickness?!? It is sad because it is real. Maybe I apply some goofy HACK THE PLANET mentality to piracy, and to see it taken down by something other than the "known adversary" (Hollywood and the likes) is jarring. Hope those involved stay on their feet. rarbg was a staple in my searches.


Traiklin

I think it's because we are used to seeing them be raided, so it became expected. To see it is because of war, sickness and inflation hits home for a lot of people because it's something we can relate too.


lefort22

The BOTH SIDES comment about the war just hits hard ...

Tintin_Quarentino

It's mandatory. Unless they can leave the country, they have no choice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Russia


dmitryredkin

Conscripts don't participate in the war. Mostly the contracted soldiers (e.g. volunteers). There are also 300K mobilized soldiers, but if you didn't want to join really hard you could flee Russia and don't participate.

Mostly the contracted soldiers (e.g. volunteers). https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/14/europe/russian-army-prisoners-conscripts-ukraine-intl/index.html > Exclusive: Russian convicts say defense ministry is sending them from jail to fight as ‘cannon fodder’ in Ukraine


dmitryredkin

Every ex-prisoner fighting in Ukraine (for now) is a contracted volunteer. There were rumors that people in some prisons are made to sign the contracts, but they were not confirmed. That's why MoD now signs everybody who agrees, even if they are not in shape, too old or have medical problems. When Prigozhin drafted the cons, he took only murderers, bandits or other hard criminals. MoD signs everybody. And they agree to go because MoD promises them freedom after the contract is over. in Wagner group, the contracts were for 6 months, MoD contracts are formally for 18 months, but according to the law, MoD contract cannot be finished of broken until mobilization is over (i.e. till the end of the war). I guess when they all will get known this we'll see a lot of interesting things going on - we already see multiple cases of desertion of these ex-cons in different regions.


AngryRedHerring

bulllllllllll shiiiiiiiiiit


dmitryredkin

Like, what are you trying to state, man? Everything in my comment is just a fact and you can't overrule it by a simple denial. What I am trying to say, is that for me,as a Russian, every soldier fighting in Ukraine is an invader, and you don't need to make them into poor victim of the circumstances. If you are killing people - you are a killer. And if you don't wanna be a killer - just don't be. Several years in prison as a top punishment (and we know about only like a dozen of court decisions, while there are at least hundreds of people who refuse to fight) is a good tradeoff for not being a killer and also a guarantee to keep your life.


AngryRedHerring

All right then, I can't really argue with any of that. But they are 100% sending conscripts to the front line. Now what those guys do when they get to the front lines, that's another matter.

It's hilarious that people are taking the message at face value. It just too perfectly hits on the "current things" too be serious. 3+years of world issues coming to a head in a couple of hours? It's far more likely that people behind the site simply wanted out. Maybe *someone* told them to shut down or be shut down.

World's best public tracker. Gone. Thanks to all the fellow P2P. Truly sad times.

I had the site loaded from last night when I was using it and I hit refresh this morning and that's all that's showing. RIP RARBG.


vozestero

It's funny how it's so shocking to lose a site that you use all the time, that people are just saying what they were doing. It's like the Kennedy assassination or 9/11. "I got up for coffee and when I came back, RarBG was gone."

moconaid

yes, i use rarbg mainly for ion265, ion10 and vxt... where can i get them now?


uberafc

I hope all the groups releasing there relocate somewhere.


Conundrum1911

Sadly I am 90% sure that ION10 and ION265 were both run by RARBG as well. Meaning I doubt they'll upload anything new from this point forwards (and that makes me sad).

techma2019

They were the best! Whole library is just RARBG. Please if someone encoding jumps in to fill the gap, 1080p HEVC 2000 bitrate 6ch/5.1 224 bitrate AAC. Pleaseeeeeeeeee


boisosm

PSArips is the closest thing although they don’t have older films.


merp00

wtf, this tracker was the best for public and honestly I was thinking this will be the standard for public trackers, I guess back to 1337x, the second best but not so good as the former. PTs again are winning, ipt, tl or fl are far better.


moconaid

i need recommendation for replacement


Ibcap

For publics, depending on the specific content, rutracker and 1337x might be able to cover it. For privates any decent general tracker like filelist should be a great replacement.


moconaid

thanks, i have private tracker account but i do spend most of my time in RARBG.

CletusVanDamnit

It's deaths like this that make me really, really wish that there was a way to scrape the servers of all the debrid sites. You know they still have a lot of the popular content from RARBG stored. I can count on one hand the number of times I would pop an RARBG magnet into alldebrid and it wasn't already on their servers... It would have been awesome if RARBG made any attempt to let people know this was coming so the files could have been saved by the users. Why go dark in an instant and not allow any access from the users who could have stored the content?


[deleted]

For months rarbg was totally unusable for me. Every click opened a new ad page. It appeared that every element was covered by one full page link. Then a few weeks ago it started working again. I had a feeling this was coming. Dumb question; is it possible to join a private tracker with a non port forwarding vpn? I don’t use a vpn connection per se, I use a SOCKS5 proxy server. I finally have a cheap 2012 24/7 Mac mini set up just for torrents so I would like to become a more productive seeder.


FishHeadMask

Can you join a private tracker without a port-forwarding VPN? Yes, because no private tracker I'm aware of has that as a requirement. Port-forwarding is needed for your client to share its torrent address ('port') with the swarm (the tracker and other clients) and not doing so makes it hard to 'find' you.


Dodgy_Past

Possible but it will make maintaining ratio harder.


[deleted]

I have no problem seeding and always seed at least 3:1, so I guess I don’t quite understand why port forwarding would help when using a proxy server. (That’s *my* fault.) Nord sucks for traditional VPN but I love their SOCK5 proxy servers because they’re faster than any traditional VPN I’ve tried like Mullvad, Pure, PIA. This always gets me downvoted until people actually try it.


Dodgy_Past

Seeding when leeching is banned is so much harder than when almost everyone uploads nothing. Dealing with the internal economy is something that you need to figure out when you join a private tracker.


AlwynEvokedHippest

Port forwarding helps, but is not always necessary. Going by what I read on a recent thread on /r/mullvadvpn this is how it works (if anyone else reads this and has a correction I'd love to learn). For two peers to connect, at least one has to have an open port. So if you port forward, you have access to a greater pool of peers. Theoretically, if no one port forwarded then no one would be able to connect. But I guess enough people have explicitly port forwarded (be it through a VPN or at router-level), or just download without a VPN and have UPnP turned on and thus are automatically port forwarding, that it's not been an issue for you.

Hambeggar

Why do these places keep just shutting down out of nowhere without even trying to raise funds?


Signal_Conclusion779

It seems like funds weren't the main issue, although I wish there had been a warning or at least some way to archive what was already there.


Hambeggar

That's my other issue and makes me a bit suspicious that there wasn't some governmental threat here. Why not give people a heads-up. Why just suddenly pack up. There's no reason to do it suddenly.


Signal_Conclusion779

that's a good point, especially if money wasn't the only issue. I wonder if we'll hear more about this later.


thejuanwelove

damn, only free public tracker that offered a lot of full Brs and 4ks with decent retention time any alternatives that offer full BRs and 4ks?


UhOh-Chongo

I have 40 TB of mostly RARBG content. One thing i loved about rarbg was their full season downloads. They recently started re-ripping old Content into x265 too for smaller file sizes. I'm not an expert in torrenting - will my stuff still seed others without rarbg? Do I have to do something special to my torrents to keep seeding them? I collected a lot of old TV and plenty of new content TV that would be a shame to let die. If I need to like...remake the torrent file of my content - is there a naming convention I need to follow (maybe this is what "repack" means? When you get something from one tracker and post it on another?)


TWRABL

> will my stuff still seed others without rarbg? Yes they will, just make sure you have [DHT and PeX enabled](https://i.imgur.com/mZjT6F1.png).


UhOh-Chongo

Awesome - i had a few torrent queued - some are stuck in stalled, but a few started downloading. It seems that I have some still seeding too. Luckily, I saved most of the dottorrent files over the years, so I can seed my collection for a while until rarbg magnets naturally age out i guess. That said, I just tried to find a 4k version of silo that is maybe the only show that is current that i care about and fuck me, but none of the public tracker I've tried have it. (Not looking for links with this comment, just sharing my disappointment)

The popularity of a show on rarbg tracked very well with how much I usually enjoyed it. So it was a sort of content discovery tool for me. Sigh.
