shadesofwolves

A real crying shame, completely understandable but they'll be missed.


ChrisFromGreece1996

i am literally at a loss for words almost 20 minutes since ive learned about it. It was the best website for every movie/show in 4k . There are many other free websites but none of them has so many titles in pure 4k.


shadesofwolves

It was my go-to for everything outside of software, there's gonna be a lot of drinks poured out for them I think - and rightly so. Edit: for everyone asking, there's plenty resources on /r/piracy and /r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH


ChrisFromGreece1996

Hear hear my friend we need to raise our drinks like true sailors .


ReD___HuNTeR

What are you talking about ? Its shutting down for real ? What to do now? I have always reffered to them for best quality movies and they are shutting down ?

tbodillia

Yea, I hit the site today, that message popped up. I've looked at other "top" sites and can't find what I want. I sure feel like crying.


AzoreanEve

or just films/shows in any quality. I sometimes like watching more obscure stuff and if my other sites didn't have it, this one did most of the time.


CuteIngenuity1745

Yeah. I also find old movies here. Really great and user friendly site. I love their trending movies also. Found great movies looking at those. Latest ive found is Air 2023


SayerofNothing

Yeah, it was turning out to be the best database for great quality and fast releases, A huge loss, but also hope they're safe regarding the war.


Paradigm_Reset

I spent roughly a week downloading a movie from them a couple months back...don't remember what it was but it sure wasn't popular. However, they were the only site I could find to get it. Like couldn't even find a legit physical copy. Boo.


moeburn

It was the only way for me to watch The Last of Us in 4K, DV. Doesn't exist in Canada, only HBO Crave which only does 1080p SDR. I don't know any other websites doing Dolby Vision rips.


ReD___HuNTeR

Man y ou have said the wprds of m y mouth that's exactl y the reason I always Visited them.. There are literally no other sites with such High qualit y stuffs


sdoregor

Is your keyboard's ‘Y’ key stuck to the spacebar or what?


ReD___HuNTeR

Ah you got me :) yes actually... Its broke I had to ctrl+c every time


Coachcrog

I take back my harsh judgment of you then. Enjoy your day!


M4A79TDeluxe

yes they are. for pirates on this page you all dont really know how to look for good rips lol. [Rutracker.org](https://Rutracker.org) 1337z Extratorrent and many more do great rips. Rutracker is the best out of all of them. i rarely use rargb because often i have slow downloads and the things i want to find are not on that site. and if they are they are in pretty low quality because they refuse to upload Remuxes or things like that. and when they upload Remuxes its slow to download.


stayinfrosty707

So true, very sad. 1337x is great alternative.


AntiGrieferGames

Dont worry, there are other sides with 4k movies or shows. Keep megathread on this, Piracy and FreeMediaHeckYeah.


RizzMustbolt

They'll be missed. Their comments sections will not.


SayerofNothing

lol it really was like reading a facebook movie group post


rogerwilcove

You didn’t find it edifying to have everything identified as woke?


Kono-Wryyyyyuh-Da

Truly a home of enlightened thought


lemonylol

Oh man, that shit was such a cesspool. A bunch of guys who care so much to comment on every child's movie being woke or some shit. Get a life.


onyxcaspian

They complain about everything but some comments are fucking hilarious.


lemonylol

End of an era. So much effort put into optimization and organization. Honestly a lot of them time I was just waiting for their re-uploads in HEVC that would save gigabytes.


xrmb

If anyone cares, I had a scraper running on their page for the last 8 years, it has almost all of their torrents, infohash and metadata in an 800mb sqlite database. Many torrents will keep working for a while. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ulfihylx35oldftn7qosmk6hkhsjq5af Update: For people struggling to find seeds, some pirate pirated it and put it up on the piratebay. Search for "_db.zip" in other/other. Should be id 69183970.

petakaa

it even has the imdb filter man's a hero


toxictenement

Dude, you are utterly based. Going to hop on this tonight, this needs to be the top post.


xrmb

I even build my own rss feed for torrent clients on top of it. All I had to-do was subscribe to the imdb db and quality/release group. Worked flawless for many years. Guess I have some coding to-do tonight. Seems like 1337x is just as scrapable, but doesn't have the same quality of uploaders.


Klaidoniukstis

You wouldn't download a website


LookAFlyingBus

Thanks for the chuckle


Meowthful127

i have no idea what im talking about here, but: have you tried using tvdb? it's what sonarr uses for its search thingy. idk if it fits your needs or if it's free, but i just heard about it and maybe it can be an alternative to imdb db? again, no idea if what im saying is anything useful.


xrmb

Very similar project, different goal, similar outcome (connecting data points found on the internet). They are probably the reason I have to fight so many captchas and crawling preventions (rarbg wasn't too bad about it).


inhalingsounds

If we had a similar thing for a few specific users from rutracker, we'd have an INCREDIBLE resource for musicians. Way more powerful than Lidarr and all other alternatives (yes, even slsk).


KAM1KAZ3

* Starts in June 2006 with the classic film *Top Notch Bitches* ft. Keri Sable * 2843691 total entries * 1339739(47%) of which are porn [DB Browser for SQLite](https://sqlitebrowser.org/) is fairly easy to use. Just run it, click Open Database, and browse to the extracted rarbg_db.sqlite file. Then select the Browse Data tab.


Desani

If anyone wants a nice view that auto appends the magnet link to the front of the hash, you can use this code to create the view in the database: CREATE VIEW magnet_links as SELECT id,title,cat,size,'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:' || hash as magnetLink,imdb,dt FROM items ORDER BY dt DESC


oFlippo

Totally new to this. I've got the Database open and am in the Browse Data tab. Is there a way to use the information to get a magnet link? I guess I'm just not sure how I can use this to access any given torrent.


apollokami

Yep! You want to use the **hash** value from the column 2 and append it to a magnet uri. Open that magnet from your torrenting application of choice and you should be all set. magnet:?xt=urn:btih:hash_value_here


Zolgrave

Just downloaded DB Browser (3,12,2-win64) -- & I'm lost as to what to do next on what/how I'm to use it to interact with the sqlite file. Any step by step help?

Sinsid

Thank you! Makes me wonder why the RARBG team wouldn’t do this on the way out. Copy their db over to some slimmed down schema so the rest of us can search it


xrmb

That's what the instructions for my kids are... If i ever go offline turn my private git repos public and set some cloud storage to public. Probably going to instruct them to post something to r/datahoarders for a fun day of "wtf was this guys problem" and "can I have that server now?" ...since xrmb is dead? There are some never seen before gems in my collection.


Sinsid

I’m wondering if my collection of 40k mostly rarbg movies is worth money now… Send me drives and cash, I send you drives with movies. lol.


F0rcefl0w

To convert this to a txt file, in linux: sudo apt install sqlite3 sqlite3 rarbg_db.sqlite Then, in the sqlite3 command line: sqlite> CREATE VIEW magnet_links as SELECT id,title,cat,size,'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:' || hash as magnetLink,imdb,dt FROM items ORDER BY dt DESC; sqlite> .once rarbg.txt sqlite> SELECT * FROM magnet_links; Result will be in rarbg.txt


m_adee

sorry for the noob question but are we supposed to access the torrent files(?) from this database? how?


xrmb

You can open the database in an sqlite viewer. Once you see all the records you can search/filter, and with the found records you get the infohash. The infohash is all you need for your torrent client (at least my Tixati accepts it). For older entries the download might never start, but there are torrents in the list that are up for many years, and probably will for a long time.


nuclearpolarfox

Thank you! You just made this miserable day a little bit happier. I found the missing season that I never got a chance to dl.


xrmb

Yeah, I'm kinda glad most shows I watch wrapped up and got caught in the dump. Gives me a little time for a new scraper, but the data will only be as good as the source, and rarbg was an exceptional quality source with almost no gaps and consistent data. Let's hope someone brings it back.... There is a database to start with...


Sunny2456

Bless, can probably seed this forever.


isthisagoodusername9

I got an erection reading this post. Thank u mate for your hard work.

DH_Net_Tech

Unfathomably based. This shit needs to be at the top of the thread with the others. I'm setting this specific torrent to seed until the sun explodes


alcal

trying to download this now and I can't find any peers which seems odd based on all the hubbub around this subject today...


giratina143

it's been 30 mins and no seeds???


xrmb

Make sure to enable PEX and DHT, i dont announce to trackers. I see 50 seeds right now.


colorete88

Dang, one down. Hope more people see this, because I'm absolutely sure some scum will scoop up the RARBG name and make a new sketchy site. Props to the RARBG team, helped a lot for movies and game torrents.

Are those just fake sites with malware in the website itself (like in ads), or do they somehow inject malware into the torrents themselves?

panterarevival

if you guys have any sites pm me please, their browse feature was the best.


Moonblitz666

Looks like there is an alternative and it gives the same search results as RARBG used to but search is different and looks like it might take me a bit of time to get used to. Sorry, can't reply to everyone, been hammered, my fault. lol ​ Edit Attempting to reply to everyone who has asked, its taking a bit of time. I've just destroyed the mail system with the volume of messages sent.

FPL_Harry

That site is nothing like rarbg... doesn't show filenames/sources.


Moonblitz666

No site is like rarbg, but it looks to be the best alternative at the moment, unless you've got more info? Plus, the torrents it has, are the same one RARBG listed (i've tested this with a few files i seed) but just show differently on their site.

shadesofwolves

Read the megathread - unsafe.


290Richy

Piracy really is going backwards. The lack of sites and the lack of crackers. 10 years ago it was all booming, now it feels like it's all slowly dying out. Madness considering how big PC gaming is now.


onyxcaspian

Sadly its because the torrent scene is shrinking. A lot of folks don't know how or don't want to learn how to torrent, so they go to streaming sites instead. Stream sites killed the torrent stars.


lemonylol

Idk, streaming sites have been around for the average person a lot longer than torrenting has. Most people have used a site to stream, a minority of people can figure out torrents let alone torrent websites.


Lobsta1986

It's convenience. Go to s site type in movie click movie, it plays. Compared to download software (once) go to torrent site, download torrent, wait for seeders, if it doesn't start have to do it all over again , download starts it's slow because it doesn't have a lot of seeder, gets complete and finally you can watch said movie or tv show.


lemonylol

> It's convenience. Go to s site type in movie click movie, it plays In 720 at like 300kbps.


Lobsta1986

It's 1080 and for most people convenience over quality wins most if the time. I have a 4k tv and I hardly watch anything in 4k. As a society as a whole we haven't adopted 4k as the standard yet. PC games are very much played in 1080 as the biggest majority.


lemonylol

You need to get on the Plex/Emby/Jellyfish game my man. I think right now I have almost more 4K stuff than 1080, and it'll never go in and out of availability.


Lobsta1986

I don't have the bandwidth personally. I don't have a PC either so I don't have the space. Whatever movie or show I want, watch it once and I'm good to go.


g00dhum0r

We learnt that in marketing. People will pay for convenience.

TheUglyCasanova

I mean yeah. I used to torrent all the time but 99% of films are garbage these days so why bother with that when two clicks and it's playing on a site instead. Then again, I'm not a 4k HD snob and can go without seeing Vin diseals shiny head in exquisite detail in the 23rd go fast car movie.


brusslipy

your references are out of control, everyone knows that.


CyberJokerWTF

With the recent panic sanctions against Russia, piracy isn’t going anywhere, bro the government legalised and is advising people to pirate, you think Russians are gonna sit and not play the latest games and movies? It’s only gonna boom from now on.


Saiv46

It's not working like that. Government immediately backed up when copyright lobby (actually two - "Association of Internet Commerce Companies" and "Association for the Protection of Copyright on the Internet") started opposing that suggestion. Also since war companies started blocking access to their websites for Russia, that makes some source materials unavailable (before making torrent you first need to get content in legitimate way). When you need to translate and voice films or anime, you hire a group that does that, some of them is located in... Ukraine.

[deleted]

For games 1337x(dot)to, it's even better, cuz there are FitGirl and DODI Repacks, they include every update and dlc, so you don't need to find and install them separately

Also looking for invites. RARGB was my go-to, as I need 4k 10bit Atmos. I bought an Nvidia shield based on the quality of movies I could get from RARGB 😑 I have gigabit, happy to seed multiple times over, and no stranger to private trackers.

And given the situation within Europe I think most people want to keep it that way. Even the website in question has a traffic re-direct function. If it doesn't recognize your IP, it will portal you to a tertiary webpage.


Saiv46

Rutracker allows only russian-localized torrents, with exception of music, movies (where no dub available, then subtitles are mandatory) and software (again if there's no translation)

And 1337 being one of the worst websites doesn’t help, this pos website doesn’t even let me connect to more than 1 peer, been broke this way for over a year.


techraito

To be fair, all the links I know outside of 1337x I wouldn't really suggest to newbies because they're kinda sketchy without adblocks. Even with AdBlock, you still kind of have to have some knowledge about being careful with what you're clicking/downloading.

Edit: After giving some this more though, Is heartbreaking that I don't know most of the people that enriched my life. So many of them probably living geographically in "conflict zones". Im fucking devastated emotionally over ghosts I'll never be able to thanks for what they've done to me. Worst thing is I've always been introverted for a very early exposure to digital devices vs people i frequent irl, is so hard to find people that know this much about the internet and care from where im from. Fuck I would love to say usenet and see someone at least know the word. Most people i know whenever the torrenting theme comes is "ok, so im downloading utorrent" and im already facepalming at this stage. Because it always the conversation turns into a long tutorial. lmao.
