A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.
I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

Booty Sweat!
God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.
That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared “too old” to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.
Like Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a service problem.
The last two things I pirated were No One Lives Forever, a game that’s completely delisted on all storefronts, and Ratchet & Clank, because Sony can’t figure out how to add the PS2 versions of games to the PS5 and I refuse to stream it (data cap) or lug around my PS3.
Both I would’ve purchased legally had they not made it a pain in the ass.
Funny how that works
I’d love to find a good alternative to Rarbg, truly the end of an era
TorrentGalaxy is the closest I’ve found so far.
Is it TorrentGalaxy.to?
Yes
When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.
I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.
When rarbg went down I waited a couple weeks for straghlers then stopped seeding all rarbg torrents. Is there a reason to? How will people even find these torrents?

Not from the same source, but I’m in the middle of getting a 5GB file that took me five days so far and will take another five to complete. After that, I think I will keep sharing for as long as possible this one, since I see a lot of peers every day, even though there’s only one seeder, from which I’m currently downloading at 10Kbps (and not because of my bandwidth, I think it’s theirs that’s a bit on the slow side).
I have slow upload, but once there are two seeds things should get better for all other peers, compared to now haha
I always am going crazy seeing a 1mib/s upload divided by 10 peers while I am sitting here with a gig symmetric line ready to satisfy all within a minute (if their pipes allow it).
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN BANDWIDTH and I shall satisfy everyone and their dog for a 100 ratio…that sucks
Not all heros wear capes
Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)
I seed anime OSTs, plenty enough and rare collections.
If you folks happen to download that category, chances are I am one of your sources 🤣
The only time I seed, really. If there’s only like 2 or 3 seeders and they have shit connections, I’ll seed for a while. Not that my upload speed is any good…
But on a thing with thousands of seeders and maybe 20 leeches? Why? 🤷🏻♂️
Fun fact: This movie is on the 4k movies google drive
What Google drive are you talking about
Check the megathread
Yea would be awesome to know lol
Thank you sailor.
Is quality worth the 50gb?
I don’t have any fancy speakers or monitor…
At 80+Gb that means it’s a straight blu-ray rip without being recompressed at all, which is perfect if you have a nice home theater system. You definitely notice the difference then. But if you’re just watching on an average monitor with headphones or such, then you’re honestly better off finding a smaller version that someone properly compressed down a bit.
My very fancy sweet spot is somewhere between 10-20gb 1080p
My alright sweet spot is around 7-10gb 1080p.Higher is too much in disk space for me.
They look amazing on a big TV with a nice sound system. If it’s just for watching on your computer I would recommend the 2GB RARBG releases.
You get diminishing returns. But yes, on a large 4K TV you can notice the difference.
With prices being about 14$/tb on sale for the cheapest 8-16tb drives, yeah, it really is. And if the cheap drive breaks, no problem, you only had public torrents on it anyways.
It looks great on my TV! The HD version also looks very good but flipping between them this version is noticably higher quality.
I did this with the That 70s show FGT torrents. Nobody seeds older media anymore, so each one had/has a >30 ratio on the 5GB-per-season BDrips
I wish for low-risk older media people would just keep the seed open forever. Very little bandwidth will be taken up but people will have it there if they want to go back and watch it.
And this is why I backup all the torrents I download. If I lose the drive, they might not be seeded anymore and I won’t be able to re-download everything. There’s stuff in my collection that was hard to find 5 years ago.
