Alternative to RARBG
Alternative to RARBG
RARBG shutting down left a huge hole for me and I can’t figure out what’s a good alternative for it other than 1337. Any suggestions?

TorrentGalaxy is a pretty good alternative for RARBG. There's a ton of other sites out there too but 1337 and TorrentGalaxy are probably the two best options at the moment for general torrents.
I took the time after RARBG to setup my torrenting flow. TorrentGalaxy and 1337 have been great especially combining them with Prowlarr and Radarr.
Is there a public tracker where scene releases of video games are not uploaded by IGG?
TGX abd 1337x both has scene releases uploaded by IGG. I can't seem to find non-IGG ones.
Rarbg going away was what finally got me to learn how to use qBittorent's built in search engine which has solved my issues and made it effortless to find torrents without going to sketchy websites.
Go to the search section and add custom search engines and fill in all the good sites from this list:

Hey I'm having trouble adding extra search plugins, how do u do it?
Here is the official tutorial: https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/Install-search-plugins#steps-to-install-search-plugins-qbittorrent-version-3110-or-more-recent
In qBitorrent go to Search Plugins in the bottom right, then Install a New One. You'll go to that website link I posted and find a torrent site that has lots of content you like, like 1337, and click the little download icon off to the right of it in that table. That will open a tab with some computer code looking stuff. Copy this URL of the website and in qBittorent, in the Install a New One window, select web link and paste the link to the search engine plugin you chose. I did this for the top 10 or so most relevant looking websites for me in terms of language, content type, etc.
Now when I need a torrent I just go to my search plugin section of the program and type in the search terms I would normally use on Rarbg, and I find the movie I'm looking for.
Here is a YouTube video I found talking about the process:

Here are the sites I use with Jackett
btdig.com
bitsearch.to
eztv.re
glodls.to
kickasstorrents.to
limetorrents.lol
torrentz2.nz
2torrentz2eu.in
torrentdownloads.pro
torrentdownload.info
torrentgalaxy.to
showrss.info
nyaa.si
Even better if you connect Jackett with Sonarr and Radarr
recently I got a subscription to AllDebrid.com and just connect that with Kodi + Seren or Stremio + Torrentio. Alldebrid is a torrent cache server, if you add a torrent to their site it usually is already cached on their side and then you can download the files at your maximum speed. It's great for streaming high quality Blu-rays with Kodi or Stremio (which have built in scrapers, so no need to manually add torrents). Just google a tutorial with Kodi+Seren+Alldebrid or Stremio+Torrentio+Alldebrid. The sub is super cheap. And game torrents, like from fitgirl, are also cached on there.
I highly recommend upgrading from Jackett to Prowlarr.
More indexers available, Prowlarr syncs its indexers to the rest of the 'arr suite automatically, you can use it to manually search your indexers for whatever instead of just specific categories via the 'arrs (sending the desired results directly to your dl client), and there's a nice history page where you can see what software performed what searches to which indexers, all the parameters it used, how many results it got, and even manually re-trigger individual searches to see the results.
I'm just starting to learn about Usenet, alldebrid, sonarr, jellyseer etc. I'm not quite getting how it all fits together, though I've downloaded many a torrent. Anything you could recommend?
I tried setting up Seren twice on my Kodi but had many issues. First time it just made my entire Kodi unstable, it crashed every ~20 minutes. Re-installed Kodi, then tried to install Seren, and had many issues again. E.g. missing dependencies, tried to install them manually, failed, etc. I'm running OSMC on a Vero, perhaps that's the reason. Also not a fan of installing 3rd party repos on Kodi.
So, I'm using the alternative solution with the Yatse app. In Stremio I select External Player, and then I can select Yatse => Play Media and then it starts playing on the Kodi.
Are you using a Kodi version older than Matrix? Seren doesn’t work well on older version.
i remember when i configured stremio a while back there was no built in scraper that worked with debrid. i had to google and finally found a random syncler scraper that worked
Since no one has posted it yet, this site hosts a massive dump of every RARBG release ever, and you can easily search through it. Games, movies, shows, books, everything RARBG ever released is available there. There's 5 and half petabytes of data there, it's absurdly large.
ditch torrents. usenet is still alive and kicking
Usenet requires paying for a service though, right?
Cheaper than a vpn (usenet instead of vpn), better availability/more content, 70+mbps continuous downloads, no copyright claims.
Worth it. 6$/mo with Frugal Usenet + NZBGeek
Newer used it but willing to try it. Do you know some good "manual" for usenet?
TorrentGalaxy +1
The Bay never went away. It's always been there for you and it will always be there for you.
but it's not moderated??
Much like international waters, its always required a bit of watching out for your own well being.
Correct! Is that particularly important?
Because I'll shamelessly throw this on every related post: I highly recommend looking into the *arr apps. There's Radarr for movies, sonarr for TV, readarr for books, lidarr for music, and some other smaller ones for stuff like subtitles, nsfw, comics, anime, etc. You basically setup indexer sites to search, connect them to your download client(s), add whatever you want to get, and they take care of the rest. You can even use an app called prowlarr to make a single list of the indexers and sync that list across all of your apps so it's super easy to add more.
Personally I have 1337x, piratebay, and internetarchive tied for highest torrent indexer priority and they get most of what I want, but I also have badasstorrents, bitsearch, eztv, kickasstorrents, torlock, torrentgalaxy, and yourbittorrent that will get searched if those three don't have it. You can even use prowlarr to search all of your indexers for a file if you really want, but the only case for that that I've seen is for very niche things or things with messed up titles in the other arr apps (series scene 1 instead of the actual title is the main example, but I've only run across that once)
Want to go balls to the wall with your piracy, I highly recommend looking into usenet! It's basically like torrenting, but with a handful of massive servers that store stuff. You need to pay for an indexer which basically keeps a list of all the stuff it's found to be uploaded on the usenet servers (I use nzbgeek since it was recommended by a friend and I have no complaints, but you're free to find another one) so it's not entirely free, but I get ~95% of my stuff through usenet instead of torrenting. I have it listed at a higher priority than my torrent clients since it's a lot more reliable and safe, plus you can basically max out your bandwidth instead of fucking around with slow or stalled torrents which made the cost (I got lifetime) entirely worth it to me.
The best part of the arr apps? You can add and use both usenet (called nzb) indexers and torrent indexers/sites! Anything that isn't found on usenet (not found, worse or higher quality than I want, missing tags, etc) is basically always found on one of the torrent sites I have added in.
Another huge benefit, you can also add things that have been announced but not released yet, and it will grab it for you when it's released. Want something asap? Set it to "announced" and it may find some leaked copy of the movie when it's available on one of your indexers. "In cinemas" is normally what I go for, then set it to webdl, Blu-ray, webrip etc to avoid cams. You can also do released to wait until it's fully released. And you aren't stuck with the version you have initially, the apps will automatically grab you better quality versions until it's at the desired quality (e.g. you get a crappy 480p leaked version because you allowed it, when a 720p version is released it will grab and replace it for you). A concrete example is I have the latest season of Futurama, sonarr (handles TV shows) will grab the first episode that's releasing tonight and it'll be downloaded overnight most likely.
Just got my Usenet setup with Radarr and Sonar and I am LOVING it. It’s fast and so easy to use. Hardest part was getting all of the folders situated with my existing library. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I definitely recommend adding some torrent indexers too (and using prowlarr to manage all of your indexers) if you aren't already! Also, don't forget to stick your download clients behind a VPN! If you're running them all from docker (highly recommend doing this), you can route all through a gluetun container to help protect yourself from being tracked
*arr apps still need a tracker. *Arr by itself is useless without working torrent trackers which are becoming fewer and fewer, unless you're willing to play the private tracker games.
See if you ever would be ok with private trackers. As a starter, TL may be your best bet.
Sure I'd be ok with them, but they're private, it's almost impossible to get on them.
And then I was on one once, and it requires you to keep a 1.0 ratio or something. But there are plenty of power users that have a 50.0 ratio with their seed boxes, so they're essentially "taking traffic" from 49 other people trying to maintain their 1.0 ratio. Even though I had my stuff properly seeding that I downloaded, only few downloaded from me, so I couldn't maintain my ratio.
Some of them are hard to get in, but TL and IPT are damn easy, they open up many times per year. And if you download new stuff or big torrents is always freelech so it doesn’t even count to your ratio. So, it’s quite easy actually.
All the ones I've ever been on had a way to build ratio using points earned by seeding. I have crappy upload speeds at home but have built a large ratio on all the ones I'm on just by permaseeding files and looking for freeleech items to download and seed.
There are ratio friendly private trackers. One of them is FileList. Probably you should keep an eye for open signups.
I'm concerned about the security and legal risk of having a private tracker keep track of how much you've uploaded.
You rather have a… checks notes… public one do that?

If you want i have been seeding the RARGB archive since they decided to shut it down.
Magnet?

I’m not sure where you’re getting that date from. I use it daily for all new episodes and movies.
try psarips or pahe
NZBgeek. Get Usenet and never have to worry about whatever random tracker you're using going down ever again.
For games rutor.info is very up todaye. It is in Russian but name of torrents are in English. Also it doesn't use https so always connect to it using Tor browser
