We gotta stop putting this stuff on GitHub or another place it'll get taken down immediately. I2P? Zeronet? Password protected archive on MediaFire?
Somewhere in countries that don't respect American copyright like Iran
IPFS is a good alternative. It's accessible through the browser via gateway websites so it's easy for new people but it's also distributed so it can't be taken down as long as people have it in their personal IPFS cache. It's kind of slow but text files like this would work.
Edit:
ipfs://QmUhZMw55yovidC6eJeA7g6RKe5r1QG2RGN3JpKmntxLcx
damn quick takedown
I will miss this website for a long time I think. The quality and variety of the movies and tv show we found there was astonishing. Want 4k? Want HDR, what quality? And the tv browser was fantastic too navigate. I didn't use it much for other stuff, but for video files, it was the GOAT.
Technical question: how do these still work? How does a BitTorrent Client know where to download the files if the initial tracker (rarbg in this case) is offline? I thought that trackers are quiet essential for torrent.
These are magnet links that use the decentralized DHT network built into modern bittorrent clients. You must have DHT enabled (check the settings in your client.) When you add a magnet link, your client will then send the hash number to the DHT nodes which will then fetch the metadata from other peers who have the same file with the same hash number and connect you to them. All you have to do is copy a magnet link to your clipboard, then in your client select 'add torrent url' and paste it in the box, and your client will do the rest. This way you can download trackerless torrents.
Thanks for explaining. Awesome technology!
🙏🙏🙏 thank you for service
taken down already? feds watching us guys
The torrent is working. I'm seeing at least 30 seeds right now. If anyone is having difficulty, here is a link to the same torrent with trackers added. Not sure if this is against the rules but here it is:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.tiny-vps.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.stealth.si%3a80%2fannounce
In your client, select add torrent by url and copy/paste that entire link into the url box.
Bro encode links before posting, just to be on the safe side and thanks for this.
i think this is better https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRarBg/comments/14o02z2/update_regarding_original_rarbg_torrents/
You absolute legend
I already had the sqlite one but also downloaded this and am seeding currently. You said these are tracketless links and we will have to add trackers manually, so will the trackers from ngosang's list from github work.
They should work. I usually just add the default pirate bay trackers to my torrents and it's usually all it needs:
udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337 udp://tracker.torrent.eu.org:451/announce udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce udp://tracker.tiny-vps.com:6969/announce udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:6969/announce
Out of the loop. What is rarbg?
One of the biggest public trackers for the last 10 years that recently closed down: https://torrentfreak.com/tag/rarbg/
Ah! I was always more of a Usenet user so torrents acronyms sometimes escape me
holy shit thank you
Thank you!
I've been using rarbg . best
That's awesome! Sorry for the noob question, but how can I use that in say for example prowlarr?
I think you would just add them to your download client (qbit, transmission, etc) and then add the title to radarr/sonarr to allow for automatic importing and management.
You're a legend! Thanks!
It's torrents all the way down:
A magnet link that via DHT fetches a torrent of magnet links that via DHT ...
Can someone post magnet?
Would anyone be interested in an additional .csv spreadsheet that got posted? It probably is mostly duplicated with this list, I've also got a short list that was just saved as 'arthouse.txt' and a bunch of miscellaneous .torrent files that got posted, most of them are porn though. I was going to roll everything up into one torrent (including this and the sql file), which would be about 2 gigs. Might be some that fell through the cracks, but I'm not up to the task of sorting.
Is there a way to import this list into Jackett?
It's possible to scrap the latest 10 of https://therarbg.com every hours or the rss of a piratebay mirror and to distribute the big file via ipfs this will allow the update of the file without having to create a torrent every time
Thank you
Very cool! How often is this updated?
Never.
Then the next question is, when was it last updated?
I downloaded this from the Github on 6/4. Not sure if it is the latest version but it has more links than the earlier file that was circulating on reddit.
GitHub removed your link, trying the magnet rn but not getting anything. Would you have an updated magnet link or any trackers I can add?
You can try this link with trackers added (I used the trackers TPB uses):
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.tiny-vps.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.stealth.si%3a80%2fannounce
Thanks! I can see the trackers but their status is "Not contacted yet".
Most likely May 31, 2023.
It's basically an archive of the last state of RARBG before it was taken down, it's not getting updated.
This is a complete collection since the original Rarbg is over so it probably won't be updated unless someone wants to include the new files added to the spiritual successor.
