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

TorrentGalaxy.to

After that I'd go with...

MagnetDL.com

TorrentDownload.info

Torlock.com

1337x.to/home

Torrentz2.nz

SolidTorrents.to

ThePirateBay.org

Ext.to

ExtraTorrents.it

EZTV.re

LimeTorrents.cc

TorrentLeech.org

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!...

Tbh I see everyone bothering with private trackers and I can't stand that this is what it has come to. Torrenting is meant to be open to everyone, and it is a 0-sum game. It is physically impossible for everyone to have above 1 ratio. Policing ratio just means your users who are not able to own a seedbox get kicked out in the name of "they're just leeches" while your users who do enjoy 10-20 ratio for content they don't even intend to watch.

I should specify I'm not mad cuz bad, my overall ratio stands at 2.89 (3 max per torrent). I always seed my torrents because my router is a torrent client, I'm just mad that this is what is necessary to stand a chance in private trackers, which are an abomination to begin with.

I guess this isn't for everyone, but I find my torrents on the DHT. I have a magnetico instance running at night (because believe it or not, NAT tables don't like you opening 2000 sessions per second to a different IP each time), and it crawls the DHT for random torrents. These are guaranteed at least 1 seeder, and since I found them on the DHT I am much more likely to find other seeders on the DHT as well.

Honestly, it's been serving me quite well. I can't share access publicly because take a wild guess at what you find randomly on the DHT, but if there was a realistic way of moderating out that, I would. In the meantime, I highly recommend you get a raspberry pi and install magnetico yourself.

It's only a zero-sum game on trackers that don't enact counterbalancing policies, which most do, so it's braindead easy to keep a good ratio. Usually some combination of freeleech torrents and bonus points for seeding even when nobody's downloading, which can be spent to boost your ratio. I've never owned a seedbox in my life, and my ratio is over 10 on most sites I'm on, even when my "real" ratio is closer to 1 or 2.
