Some time ago I gave up using sonarr & radarr to watch (popular) tv shows and movies because the search just stopped giving decent results. Now I heard that rarbg has also quit.
So I am wondering, is this still a thing?

Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.
Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you’d need to check the individual projects to be sure.

Sonarr and Radarr ARE THE THING, without them I hardly would use Torrents nowadays lol.

Have a look at Jackett, it re-produces the search results for hundreds of torrent sites as Torznab feeds, what that means is that these can then be added to indexes for Sonarr and Radarr.

Or prowlarr for something different and a bit more powerful

I use it. I got a Usenet acct and just use torrents as a backup.

Very much so. I just switched to prowlarr from jacket to handle searches. I use pirate bay for all media 1337x, and eztv for television and find most everything that’s not obscure. Have it all behind a VPN though obviously.

I’ve exclusively used Sonarr/Radarr/Readarr for TV/Movies/Books and audiobooks for the past several years. Combined with a few usenet indexers and a decent usenet provider these programs are fantastic (fully automated other than selecting the content and speeds often max my gig connection). It does take a bit of reading and tweaking to get it all setup but I can’t recall the last time I couldn’t find content.

You can still self-host a local copy of (almost?) all the rarbg torrents for *arr apps to use as index, a lot of them still have seeds.

How do wet get that setup

I’m still using it. I binded 1337 and torrGalaxy and so far, not a single issue as far as results.

Very much still a thing. Been using both with little issues for years.

With Prowlarr or Jackett you can use it with (almost) any other site, or you can use RSS feeds

I started using real debrid once rarbg fell. Game changer

As some comments mentioned it’s all about the indexers you choose. I also had issues with getting other people to use it as the interface is… Less than desirable for non technical people. I would recommend using Ombi or overseer to do the actual “searching” / content discovery

I use raddarr/sonarr/jackett and I haven’t had any issues, I added addarr also so I can add things if I’m not near my computer. I just made a doc er compose with all of them through linuxserver.io on dockerhub, but makes it super easy if I need to switch to a new server
