I've been seeding some torrents from RARBG for about 6 -4 months, this is before RARBG went offline.

I've noticed that now that these torrents have 0 seeds, 0 peers (except one that has 1 peer).

Is it worth seeding these anymore? Will anyone ever find these torrents?

Keep seeding till the smoke clears at least. There's a database with all the magnets and various projects in the works to keep the legacy of RARBG alive. Awesome pirates such as yourself are crucial to keeping the dream alive.

Any public forum where this development is being discussed?

Note that torrents do not rely on any specific website to function. And public torrents don't rely on any specific tracker to function either.

You can keep seeding, make sure DHT/PEX is enabled in your torrent client. Torrents will seed/download fine while trackerless and only using DHT/PEX.

The old RARBG trackers are gone so whatever trackers are on those torrents no longer work. It's not a big deal, you can leave them, or delete the trackers, or replace them with working trackers from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist

You should consider seeding RARBG reuploaded torrents on TorrentGalaxy. Especially from users like "indexFroggy". After RARBG shutdown TGx stepped up there game preserving RARBG releases. There are now over 5,000 archives at TGx and growing.

No.

The RARBG tracker, that keeps track on anyone that has the file are offline so they’ll not be able to connect you with anyone.

What about the DHT peer exchange? These torrents can become trackerless and work just fine if your client find other peers in alternative ways.

This is not true. I downloaded a txt file posted after the closi ng of the site with all the magnet links and have used it for several movies after and they all worked fine.

@Hcbille @Campsite6926 While you're right, you're also wrong. The DHT allows for these torrents to be found still, but it's less effective than a tracker.

[-] Campsite6926@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Cool. Well I've decided to keep seeding it for now. I'll refer back to this post in a month and see how much action these torrents have gotten, and if not much, i'll remove them to save on some harddrive space.

[-] fell@ma.fellr.net 2 points 1 year ago

@Campsite6926 Make sure you have DHT enabled, otherwise it's pointless.

[-] Campsite6926@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, it is.

I just downloaded Conan the barbarian in 4k from rarbg magnet dump.
