Have you made a request to be added on the Jackett github page yet? Getting this set up with the *arr’s would be awesome.

How about Prowlarr too? The site looks great

It looks like they do tracker requests through their discord: https://discord.com/channels/264387956343570434/1066174962622287874

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I should have brought them up too. Here's a link to their indexer yaml definition guide: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr/cardigann-yml-definition

Edit: Seems like it's the same exact format as Jackett's: https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/wiki/Definition-format

[–] Mr4x3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

yes would love to do that soon

Most useful unique website thing rarbg had by far was full mediainfo listing for every single upload on site. You could immediately tell what you were getting and even dead torrents became useful by virtue of retaining chapter data that could be applied to another release.

Also, call me skeptical but IMO without access to scene FTP’s or week-1 access to (and automation on a large scale of re-uploading from) cabal trackers like BTN to get the good content from your site frankly risks ending up just another mirror among many others like lime torrents for existing public net and low hanging private tracker fruit. (If you have mediainfo for all files that adds a lot of value though)

IMO the real need left by rarbg is not for more re-hosting of content many others have but for publishing web-dl’s others don’t have, not of just new series (which everyone does as ep’s drop) but older movies and older series without other good 1080p or 4k releases available. Even today I see many old TV series the only HD releases available are old rarbg packs and this includes across multiple of the biggest PT’s.

Of course I wish anyone willing to run a big general tracker luck (assuming they’re honest and intent isn’t to distribute malware ofc).

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You don’t even have to go back that far. Lately I’ve been trying to find a few movies from the mid to late 90’s and they just don’t exist. Even streaming services don’t have them. It’s sad that many movies that aren’t even 30 years old are just lost to time.

It starts getting better when you hit mid 20’s but having a place like Oink again (not just for music) would be something!

Some pretty popular movies from the 80s and 90s only have 1 or 2 seeded torrents as well. It's crazy.

I am in the process of watching every horror movie made between 1800s-1995 but there it is very difficult to get a lot of the movies that aren't co sidereal the best.

[–] stown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I will never stop seeding the Gnome Mobile as long as I can help it!

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

The big question:

When I try to click on anything on the page, does it try to load pop-unders, or try to redirect me to very dodgy looking URLs?

The smaller question:

Will this be another private tracker, inaccessible without a special invite that's impossible to get (or having to tie in my personal information, like an email address, just to access it)?

If the answer to all that is no, I'm excited! :-D

P.S Bonus important question: Can it sort the whole database of torrents by most-seeded? You'd think that would be a given, but websites like TPB don't do this any more and it makes it impossible to simply browse - which is what I do, one must know exactly what they're looking for. Bummer :-(

[–] nix@merv.news 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

How do people become approved uploaders?

Could the XXX torrents section maybe be a bit further down lol its so in your face and so many buttons on the top too

[–] forgotmyaccthxbye@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this is just copy paste content from 1337x lol and UI from rarbg. nothing original at all. AHAHAAHJHA

[–] forgotmyaccthxbye@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

actually its even worse. its copy pasted content from fake copies of 1337x

[–] Porka_911@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 year ago

Add an API and you're onto a winner

[–] redw0rm@kerala.party 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Love the fact that it Feels a lot like Rarbg •ᴗ•

[–] squirefromtheshire@lemm.ee 55 points 1 year ago

“Feels a lot like” is a weird way to say “directly took the website design from”

[–] Polar@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think that's the worst part. It just looks like an untrustworthy clone that is trying to steal your info.

Seems weird not to build your own identity, especially when torrents aren't always safe.

[–] forgotmyaccthxbye@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

its literally copy pasted content from 1337x lol

Well if the design works, why make some new one that is unproven.

That said, a color/theme change will go a long way.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Was just about to say the same lol - really strong rarbg vibes here. I love it.

You all Programmers/Coders don't understand what did you make by just copying design. rarbg HAS access to 0day FTP servers so most of the releases that hit the SCENE mirrored in minutes. They have bots for P2P too mirror BtN and BHD. I never download a single release but they re-encode the x264/TV files to smaller size. So if you want to make similar to rarbg do not scrape open source magnet trackers build up a system like above.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Will this have an API for services like Prowlarr? or is this using other trackers on the backend?

[–] Mr4x3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

will have prowlarr support

[–] Mr4x3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

we have prowlarr support, recently merged https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/issues/14685

[–] Porka_911@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

Other observations, indexing is behind other sites. Added date is displaying 29/9, it's 30/9. 4K movies cat. are marked 1080p

[–] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

The site feels like rarbgs ui hope it also has the same releases as rarbg :)

[–] TheObserver@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im a usenet guy but i loved rarbg for the top little section for new popular movies. If you were able to copy this exactly from rarbg i will use the site. Not the torrents but just that top section lol.

[–] TheSkullFaceAce@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Just checked the site, the top section for browsing popular movies is actually better on this site than RARBG imo

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

WARNING: contains some cloudflare.com

[–] mambabasa@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] JoeBidet@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

do you think a company like cloudlare.com, that injects its javascript in between given site and you, will hesitate one second before transmitting its data with the FBI (or any other police), and help them tracking users down?

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Finally some fucking sense on this website. Fuck Cloud Flare. Matthew Prince's first project was literally a honey pot used to feed law enforcement. And no, I'm not being hyperbolic, it was literally called "Project Honeypot".

[–] mambabasa@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

I literally didn't know why it was bad. Thanks for explaining I guess, even despite the hostility.

[–] k_rol@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I have no idea, I don't see the correlation :/

[–] Blxter@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

Can you work on a feather that RARBG had where you can have for example a 2 season show with the packs of full season at top and then individual EP in each so you don't have to search up show.S01E01 then show.S01E02 you can just search the show then dl each EP No idea if that made sense. If you used RARBG for TV shows you know maybeb

[–] ours@lemmy.film 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

~~Awesome, I only wish you could sort by size when viewing MQAs for a movie.~~

Edit: They've added it already, neat!

[–] Mr4x3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

will do that in some days

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Seems like another scraper site from therarbg team (they also run clone sites of TPB & others). Might be interesting if this one does indeed go independent & does its own thing.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Hi Piracy,

Hello Mammal!

Perfect timing. Netflix DVD just shut down yesterday.

Is source for qbittorent possible?

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 2 points 1 year ago

Looks nice I’ll have to try it out.
