RARBG MAGNETS AND HOW TO USE THEM

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Part 1/2

---

RARBG was one of the best-known and largest public torrent trackers for media. It died in May 2023. The official reason was various accumulated troubles maintaining the site, but it's suspected that the actual reason had to do with the new-ish copyright laws in Bulgaria that were lobbied by international media giants.

RARBG IS DEAD.

This is a HARD FACT.

Some random shitty websites nowadays are pretending to be "new rarbg", "the rarbg" or similar. DON'T TRUST ANY OF THEM. Not even "rarbg 2". Not even "rarbg official". Even back when RARBG was still alive, there were copycats like this. Best case scenario, they'll give you a poorly organized collection of magnets from random places and try to sell you some shitty vpn. Worst case, they'll redirect you to dangerous websites with malware scripts.

Consider this: Any good service or product doesn't need to pretend that it is supposedly some other service/product.

Consider also this: There is nothing on these shitty clones that you can't find on much more trustworthy public trackers, like below. You _don't need_ these "new rarbg" clones for anything.

While RARBG was alive, some people were archiving its torrents/magnets. Now that it's dead, several different collections are floating around online, in different formats.

I highly recommend that you use THIS one:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ulfihylx35oldftn7qosmk6hkhsjq5af

^ This is the original upload, shared by the person who collected and posted it. There are also some reuploads of this by other people, which have a different hash (different magnet). You can use them too, it doesn't matter, as long as the actual file inside is the same:

rarbg_db.sqlite - 775 MiB - CRC32 checksum 3F03CB95

(it's usually inside a smaller-sized .zip archive, that's perfectly fine.)
