I Loved This Site, It Even Had In-House Torrents… Great Remuxes Now I Have To Look Elsewhere

    What truthfully strikes me as odd is that there are 10s of thousands of us mateys out here and no one considers the fact that a few of us are no doubt capable of starting our own group.

    Nothing is permanent in this world. Every site/tracker/etc will eventually go down, others will come up. We live in a time where computer/development knowledge is hugely available on the internet. Oh also…you can pirate that knowledge, friends 😀 🦜.

    I guess what I’m saying is…we have the technology. More than ever. UI/UX, web hosting, and development knowledge is more affordable/available than ever. Are you young? Don’t have a job/hate your job? Have some applicable tech skills? Want to make money and quit the 9-5 (yes there’s actually a shit ton of money in it, either via ads or other methods, people who run groups can live off of it very well in many cases). Well there you go. Get together and start it up. No easy task to reach RARBG’s size on day one but you start small and things grow. Build your empire.

    Now, I actually like my job. But again, there’s in all, tens of millions of people out there globally who are pirates and tend to be nerdy. You’re telling me something better won’t come up? Someone will make it. Could be you. Just depends: do you have a vision, do you want the money, are you inspired to share knowledge/content with others and carry the torch of piracy out across the high seas?

    My question isn’t “What will I do now?”. Piracy sites have continued and continued over time. My question is, what’s coming next?

    Yeah, I got the only working copy of TOTK from there.

    Other sites just have loads of repacks and shit that want you to run their custom binaries.

      Ngl, I really miss all the images and stuff from rarbg over 1337. It made the site feel more welcoming. Content wise 1337 has been a decent alternative for me. But the nav and stuff feels kinda blah

    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!..

    End of an era honestly. Rarbg was always high quality for me and everyone I knew who seeded/leeched.

    I used TGx before I found RARBG.
    RARBG was a big step up in quality, but back to TGx I go. And you can still do the imdb search there too, thankfully. They have their own RG with decent size/qual, just keep in mind we lost a GOAT when comparing.
