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
After that I’d go with
https://www.torrentdownload.info
https://www.torrentdownloads.pro
https://web.stremio.com (for viewing and downloading)
https://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…

It’s tough to replace rarbg because they posted a lot of “custom” content. They didnt source anything, but they had a lot of auto-upload bots that would rehost content gathered from private torrent trackers.
You can always use sites like torrent galaxy or other torrent aggregators like bitsearch, but without rarbg’s efforts to continually reupload the aforementioned “privileged” content, their loss is definitely big
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.

I’ve been using
snowfl.comfor a while, it searches several different sitesSeeding requirements are tough and I know private is not the way for everyone.
But seeding does help the community and can be done with minimal effort if you are crafty about it and have the space with a computer you leave on 24/7, or even easier, a seedbox. Just freelech a few hundred gigabytes of the most popular stuff, let it seed for a few weeks, and when you come back, you’ll have tons of upload credit to download stuff.
Rinse and repeat each month. Unlimited free stuff glitch, lol. Except it’s not a glitch, just not too hard to do, even encouraged. After doing this a few times you will have tons of free credit with very little effort on your part.
Once you have the credit, delete the popular torrents to free up space (if you don’t want them) and grab new freeleaches for more credit.
I feel like in private trackers, you don’t seed to help the community. You FIGHT for the ability to seed, because everyone craves upload numbers but it’s a limited commodity.
When there is free leech and seeding points you don’t need to be racing. with patience you can build enough buffer to download what you want. In TL the bonus points are capped though, so with autobrr you can make some little upload buffer on every new FL torrent.
The problem is this means you have to download whatever the newest freeleech torrent is ASAP and seed it as much as you can, rather than downloading content you want right away and seeding it. If there’s 500 seeds and 1 leech, you aren’t getting much upload buffer.
I’ve never actually broken 1.0 on a torrent on TL because it’s impossible, there are too many seeds and nobody actually wants to download much of the crap lol. Freeleech is the only thing making decent ratios possible for plebs without seedboxes and automation.
It doesn’t matter if you get 1.0 ratio on FL downloads. Anything counts towards your upload buffer. By auto downloading FLs I’ve made a buffer of about 2TB since I joined on Christmas.
Yeah, but you still have to be super aggressive about it, an FL torrent over an hour old is completely useless in my experience and you shouldn’t download it unless you actually want the contents. Plus you still have to keep your FL torrents running for 10 days, but you get all the uploading done in the first few hours, so the rest of the time is a completely useless waste of disk space.
Personally I just reached >5.0, but I’ve only downloaded two torrents I actually wanted, the rest have been whatever FL bs I could get my hands on early enough to get some uploading in lol
I like 1337x.
But I’m mostly using TorrentLeech. I have a seedbox with 20TB of bandwidth per month so I have no problem hitting ratio. My *Arr instances use TL first and only use 1337x if it can’t find what it is looking for.
Depends what it is you miss about RARBG… if it’s the x265 encodes, then look up Infinity on torrentgalaxy
Where can I find a TorrentLeech invite? I don’t have problems with seeding requirements.
They had an invite code recently. I think it was RARBGREFUGEE . Not sure if it still works.
I just tried it, it doesn’t…
Private trackers have always been better than RARBG. Even something easy to get into like TorrentLeech is probably better!
It’s hard to build ratio when you’re internet’s under CGNAT and don’t have the money for a VPN/Seedbox. It will take me a long time to earn enough buffer from bonus points. On TL, you have to seed 10 days in total. I don’t even use my pc all the time. Not to mention their display of seeding time doesn’t reflect the same amount of seeding time on qbittorrent. I have to make sure to refresh the webpage to update my seeding time. Otherwise If I don’t, it won’t get updated and I just wasted my time seeding for hours only to realize it didn’t count on my stats. Ugh.
On Avistaz though, the seeding time displays the same amount as the one in the qbittorrent.
