Hey fellow pirates, new to the fediverse but I thought I would share a torrent of the complete RARBG database in txt format that I downloaded from https://github.com/2004content/rarbg on 6/4 about a week before the github page got taken down:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z

To download, copy and paste that link into your client where it says add torrent link.

This is the most complete database I’ve seen, with 3,459,526 magnet links, and it is easy use because it is formatted as a single 395 mb text file. Just open with notepad++ or notepad2 and search. (just make sure to use periods instead of spaces when searching titles)

I’m always seeing a lot of incomplete versions of this database floating around, along with that old sqlite one from r/piratedgames that this one is based on, so I thought I’d make an account just to share this awesome work by 2004content.

Enjoy, and happy seeding!

Edit: See my comment below for the link with trackers added if you have trouble downloading trackerless torrents (the database itself contains trackerless links, so you will have to add trackers manually for those if needed.)

    We gotta stop putting this stuff on GitHub or another place it’ll get taken down immediately. I2P? Zeronet? Password protected archive on MediaFire?

      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:

    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.

    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.

    It’s torrents all the way down:

    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.

    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
