Seems this has become standard operating procedure for much of this industry - make shitty movies, wonder why they flop at the box office, then go scorched earth against alleged "pirates" and blame them for your "losses". When the studios make movies that are worth seeing, people will go to see them. See: Top Gun Maverick and Avatar 2, among other recent multi-billion dollar hits.

It is worth noting that many of the more egregious abuses of the legal process as of late seem to be by this one company Millennium Media and their many subsidiaries (Bodyguard Productions, HB Productions, etc.) They are basically just a bigger version of Strike 3, just professional trolls who would rather profit off of legal shakedowns than make good movies.

It is faster because they are losing subscribers, and because their remaining subscribers are having more difficulty connecting to peers due to lack of PF. I switched to Air VPN and was actually surprised how fast it was compared to Mullvad. (the Canadian servers at least, haven't tried many of the other servers).

Air VPN as it supports port forwarding. PF isn't as important if you only download popular new content, as there are usually enough connectable seeders on popular torrents. But PF is absolutely crucial if you want to be able to obtain old or rare content or if you use private trackers.

I'm honestly baffled that so many are still recommending Mullvad after they made such a stunning reversal of their friendly policy towards p2p by removing port forwarding. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.

You can try this link with trackers added (I used the trackers TPB uses):

The torrent is working. I'm seeing at least 30 seeds right now. If anyone is having difficulty, here is a link to the same torrent with trackers added. Not sure if this is against the rules but here it is:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:69ffcaa45d6fdc112832dd6c158fdca7e1eee912&dn=Github_RARBG_db.7z&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.tiny-vps.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.stealth.si%3a80%2fannounce

In your client, select add torrent by url and copy/paste that entire link into the url box.

These are magnet links that use the decentralized DHT network built into modern bittorrent clients. You must have DHT enabled (check the settings in your client.) When you add a magnet link, your client will then send the hash number to the DHT nodes which will then fetch the metadata from other peers who have the same file with the same hash number and connect you to them. All you have to do is copy a magnet link to your clipboard, then in your client select 'add torrent url' and paste it in the box, and your client will do the rest. This way you can download trackerless torrents.

I downloaded this from the Github on 6/4. Not sure if it is the latest version but it has more links than the earlier file that was circulating on reddit.

 

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.)
