Anyone know what's going on with ShadowBG? (shadowbg-test.xav1erenc.workers.dev)

I'm not sure if it's common knowledge, but a 'shadow' RARBG search engine went up when the site went down.

https://shadowbg-test.xav1erenc.workers.dev/

As far as I could tell, it provided direct access to all of its original torrents and/or continually seeded torrents by other dedicated seeders (or sites).

But the search engine has suddenly become inaccessible. Anyone know why? Is there an alternative?

thanks

And a file called "rarbg-db.zip" doesn't raise any flags? There's naming conventions for files like this, so you know what the general content is, who the uploader or repackager is, some more info and also to make it look more honest. I wouldn't trust this.

It's mostly text files. Completely safe.

Cool, then don't.
