i was just wondering if anyone has found a new home since RARBG’s departure…
someone pointed out this site to me, which looks interesting because you can search by imdb number: rarbg2.to
it looks different that all the fake RARBG knock-offs…
TorrentLeech has opened its doors, but the seeding requirements are brutal…
As of today the only one similar to RARBG is
After that I’d go with…
web.stremio.com (for viewing and direct downloads)
YTS.mx (.mp4 only)
Personally, I use a combination of MagnetDL.com and TorrentGalaxy.to… That gets me back to my search routine for everything I usually found on RARBG… TorrentDownload.info and Torlock.com are solid options as well…
Hopefully when all the smoke clears, RARBG will be able to start up again…
Happy Torrenting!..
1337x is another popular, widely used public tracker. You should check the mega thread if your looking for other options.
Torrent Galaxy is good enough
Sorry, i forgot to mention 1337x… it’s ok, but definitely not as good as RARBG for movies…
EDIT: i was mostly wondering if anyone has heard of rarbg2.to because it looks different from the other knock-offs…
It’s tough to replace rarbg because they posted a lot of “custom” content. They didnt source anything, but they had a lot of auto-upload bots that would rehost content gathered from private torrent trackers.
You can always use sites like torrent galaxy or other torrent aggregators like bitsearch, but without rarbg’s efforts to continually reupload the aforementioned “privileged” content, their loss is definitely big
Seeding requirements are tough and I know private is not the way for everyone.
But seeding does help the community and can be done with minimal effort if you are crafty about it and have the space with a computer you leave on 24/7, or even easier, a seedbox. Just freelech a few hundred gigabytes of the most popular stuff, let it seed for a few weeks, and when you come back, you’ll have tons of upload credit to download stuff.
Rinse and repeat each month. Unlimited free stuff glitch, lol. Except it’s not a glitch, just not too hard to do, even encouraged. After doing this a few times you will have tons of free credit with very little effort on your part.
Once you have the credit, delete the popular torrents to free up space (if you don’t want them) and grab new freeleaches for more credit.
I feel like in private trackers, you don’t seed to help the community. You FIGHT for the ability to seed, because everyone craves upload numbers but it’s a limited commodity.
I mean with seedboxes as low as $5 a month, seeding is abundant in my mind. It just takes a couple of clicks to set up a torrent to seed. Everyone could easily seed 2:1 if they wanted to. And then delete and free up space.
Everyone could easily seed 2:1 if they wanted to
This is literally impossible, which is the point parent poster is making. Seed:leech is always 1.0, for every uploaded chunk there must be a willing downloader on the other side.
The more seeders >1.0 a torrent has, the harder it is for other people to reach 1. Rewarding obscene ratios (as TL does with literal “achievements”) creates a toxic scenario where everyone is scrambling for a limited commodity in a zero-sum scenario.
If you want to play the “0.8 ratio required” game then a seeder should be forcefully removed from a healthy swarm once they reached some threshold around 1.2-1.5. If you want “high quality seeds” to stay connected, the “required” ratio should be dropped accordingly. But you cannot simultaneously have everyone “contribute evenly” with 0.8 and also award ratios of >5.0 etc.
Your “freeleech for weeks, get upload credit” “trick” just takes advantage of the 10-day seed time HnR timer. In short, it works because of their arbitrary silly rules, not because you’re contributing to the total health of the torrent swarms.
I finally set up radarr and sonarr (and prowlarr.) Radarr’s list feature pulls in new titles to check out. With a bunch of shitty public indexers it manages to find what is being looked for without making me wade through the muck.
https://vuniper.com/ shows new blurays which is nice.
Also for new content overseerr is really helpful and integrates with radarr and sonarr.
Depends what it is you miss about RARBG… if it’s the x265 encodes, then look up Infinity on torrentgalaxy
its getting there
Where can I find a TorrentLeech invite? I don’t have problems with seeding requirements.
They had an invite code recently. I think it was RARBGREFUGEE . Not sure if it still works.
I just tried it, it doesn’t…
It might be REFUGEERARBG. Can’t remember exactly what order they were in lol
If the refugee code doesn’t work you’d have to ask a member for an invite.
rutracker is best public tracker imo. qxr on 1337x is also nice. ipt and tl are decent private general trackers if your having issues with the seeding requirements you could always use ratiomaster software
TorrentLeech’s seeding requirements are certainly difficult, but they’re still easier than IPTorrents! Try to find FreeLeech stuff to help build your ratio. Ideally you obviously want to find stuff that is in high demand so that others will download from you, but even if you don’t, you’ll accrue TL points which can be spent on improving your upload ratio once you get enough of them.
Setup with sonarr and radarr. If you use prowlarr you can set it to only check free leech. Helps to boost the ratio. You just have to seed for 10 days after.
I know of these by name, but I’ve never used them. I will certainly look in to it. Thanks!
People consider IPT hard to maintain ratio? You can literally just save up bonus points and zap HnR’s… It’s also super easy to build ratio as they have a good chunk of freeleech everyday. They have one of the easiest to work with IMO.
I should clarify that my initial reply was somewhat poorly-worded probably because I was tired and shouldn’t have been posting on the internet. At the time, I thought the user was complaining about the 10-day seeding requirement and I responded with a reference to IPT because they require 14 days. I’ve found IPT very easy to maintain a good ratio, and so far, I don’t find TorrentLeech to be any harder.
I went to usenet finally and still use torrentgalaxy, 1337, and kraben to search for stuff
What’s the balance of usenet to torrent you’re ending up with? I’m debating going to usenet but I find plenty on most public trackers
Usenet has mainly replaced RARBG for normal TV shows for me and movies to an extent. I’ve got it set up with the AAR’s to grab stuff automatically.
As far as anime, getting the AARs to download it correctly has been a pain in the ass so I still manually grab it at Nyaa
I still torrent anime and games and anything I can’t find on usenet that’s older.
Using TorrentLeech right now. The seeding requirements aren’t bad. Just seed to 1:1 ratio or 10 days. Sharing is caring after all!
If you don’t want your torrent leech account I’ll take it.
There really isn’t any alternative to what RARBG offered in terms of search (being able to filter directly on 4K/UHD releases), and the content available (4K DV Web-DLs in MP4 container). And the curation, none of these renamed torrents or homebrewed “upscales”. Sad to see it go, and that there’s nothing even coming close to what it offered.
