RARBG is a torrenting site that was shut down by the owners on May 31,
2023.
It was hands down objectively one of the
best torrenting site for movies. They had super high quality rips that you just couldn't find elsewhere (20GB+ filesize). Overall, they did many things right that other torrent sites simply lacked, such as introducing
H.265 formats, listing the movie metadata on the torrent page, or a conveniently-placed section of all the latest
popular movies.
The only
thing that won't be missed is those rowdy discussion threads, also known as RARGB's own circlejerk.
Literally 50% of the discussion in any given highly-seeded movie torrent consists of hate-filled comments or quips against women, minorities and everything they perceive as being "
woke" in the movie.
45% consists of heated debates. And the remaining 5% is just people simply saying "thank you". Lol.
Moderation was also wack AF. Ive had a total of five router changes these past 5 years, and for every new IP address I've been banned from the comments for the most trivial things. And yet they just let the dozens of other toxic, distasteful commenters run amok. Either the mods have a bias or they are
bad at modding.
𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥 RARBG was an absolutely GOATed torrent site that is in every way a rightful successor to TPB... just minus the distasteful comments.
Good site owners. Great release groups.
Bad comment section and mods. Either way their torrents
will be sorely missed.

"Hello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.
The past 2 years have been very difficult for
us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications,
others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to
work at all.
Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES.
Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe
hit us pretty
hard.
Inflation makes our daily expenses
impossible to bare.
Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket.
After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.
We are sorry :(
Bye"
