Stop Crying, Wipe Your Tears - Introducing…. NQ-RARBG!

Hello members of /r/Piracy,

SlideMovies presents to you NQ-RARBG (Not Quite RARBG).

The death of RARBG has been truly saddening for all of us.

We have gathered developers and have started work on a RARBG clone.

The clone aims to have all the torrents from RARBG (except XXX), and then open registrations, so more people can add torrents. However, this will be under strict moderation to prevent the spread of malware.

GitHub: https://github.com/Not-Quite-RARBG/main

Link: https://nq-rarbg.to/

We encourage more and more developers to contribute and help us with our goal.

Thank you,

The SlideMovies Team

One thing I REALLY hope doesn't make it into the clone... Rarbg made a point of claiming every single entry was seeded, despite the fact that pretty much anything more than a few months old was in fact not seeded and could only be obtained if another user came back. If you wanted to grab a TV show that had ended a couple years ago, you could bet that many episodes had a number of peers listed who were hoping it would be seeded again, but they never were. I guess I should clear out that stuff from my client now, but I actually have entries that have been waiting for up to two years because I couldn't find them anywhere else.

So if any of the devs are reading this thread, please don't insult your users in this way. Rarbg eventually became my last resort for finding downloads since I knew I couldn't trust if anything was seeded, despite the high quality of the files that were represented when you could get them.

Honestly, 1337x is like 500 times worse about this. I've tried downloading torrents of that site claiming to have 50 seeders, but they were 100% dead torrents

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

One of my side projects is https://torrents-csv.ml , which is backed by a collaborative git repo of popular torrents. I do monthly scrapes, and found that A LOT of these torrents have no seeders anymore, even ones listed on 1337x and other popular ones.

[–] Shdwdrgn@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I've been getting pretty decent results from torrent magnet for awhile now. Really they just seem to collect listings from other servers, but their status of each torrent has been pretty decent.

[–] nhgeek@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that is a real issue. I strongly agree.

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i wonder if they meant that they were al seeded initially, since RARBG was also a massive release hub.

anyway, I hope you're right.

[–] Shdwdrgn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

They always seemed to have the active episodes seeded well enough, but every tracker should go through their inventory to update the current status on a timely basis. I didn't really think it was too much to ask that a file I started downloading a year ago, which had a couple dozen other people attempting to download, should have been marked as having zero active seeds in that time?

such a weird exclusion. Why?? Must be americans.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair, there are plenty of places to get porn for free online now. Who needs to download gigs of porn anymore??

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That on the other hand is very true. It's a little bit weird to download porn imo ^^

[–] Macc@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's for my upcoming flight. A perfectly reasonable excuse.

Mile-High Wank Club?

[–] sxan@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, come on. Surely you too have favorites.

Trusting streaming for anything is too fraught. How can you have an unrealistic, unhealthy obsession with a porn actress if you don't collect everything she's been in?

[–] Triage8420@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably people with a NAS running stash app with libraries of over 20tb of full length 4k videos sorted by actors, studios, and tags. If I had to guess.

American's watch porn. We're people too

(except XXX)

My pee pee is sad.

[–] cavemeat@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh this is excellent news, I was missing rargb already

[–] techgearwhips@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes very excellent news. Let me go try this out

[–] potcandan@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck! I'm still typing "rar [Enter]" into my address bar every 15 mins like it still exists, seeing their goodbye message over and over. How many years have I been taking this site for granted? Damn

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i use Sonarr and Radarr to automate my downloads, so I haven't manually searched for a torrent from a single site in several years. maybe for a game or app, but I'm on mac, so I use other sites for that.

[–] potcandan@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice I'll have to try those out. Are they meant to be pronounced with like a pirate accent? Arrrr lol

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

well, they're meant to be used with a plex (or jellyfin) server. you'll also need prowlarr to get them working.

you know, in all of these years, I've never though about it, lmao-- but they probably are! hahaha

[–] Madiator2011@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Private trackers are probably much better choice :)

[–] passepartous@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hard to get into one (and staying), especially in other countries / languages.

[–] JustEnoughDucks@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah I probably don't download enough to be accepted (like 1 series per month and only a 1:10 down/up ratio since I like a lot of not super popular content) and I don't use port forwarding since my server that manages it runs everything through a reverse proxy.

Good luck finding Flemish translations 😂

[–] thevoiceofra@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

no torznab

straight into trash

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it barely worked on RARGB in the first place

[–] zekiz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but this still makes it harder to use with tools like Prowlarr

[–] zekiz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Do they have RSS though?

[–] yaniv@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Good luck and Godspeed
