I searched for ages for a replacement of something like torrentz, and the rarbg drop made me start the search again. I ended up trying the included search in qbittorrent, and I'm very happy with the results, it scans many public trackers, and I have always found what I wanted.

To be clear, qbittorrent is a desktop app for linux/windows/mac, that has a panel where you can search for torrents:

something like torrentz

I feel like I'm the only person who used/remembers that site lol. I'll definitely have to check out qbittorrent now.

also I was just informed about https://therarbg.com/

therarbg.com

Woah is that legit?

It just seems to be a fork of what the old rarbg was, but nothing is official. They also threaten to DDoS every other fork of rarbg so they can be "the only one"

yikes. but I'll still probably use them if they have good uploads

Honestly even a fork is better than the complete eradication of rarbg. It had really a lot of stuff.

the old rarbg team are gone. they stopped doing it. so this is a spiritual successor apparently. similar to how yts.mx aren't the real guys but are doing the same thing.

There's a github repo with all the magnet links, I'm assuming that site used them?
