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.
