Like many iconic torrent sites RARBG was based in Europe. It appears they have people fighting for Ukraine and Russia. I imagine that made for some tense meetings. lol.
I was shocked when KickassTorrents went down and RARBG going down is shocking as well. I remember when suprnova went down 18 years ago people said it was "the beginning of the end for torrents". The scene will go on but a source for quality files is gone for good.
Founded in 2008, RARBG evolved to become a key player in the torrent ecosystem.
The site didn’t only attract millions of monthly visitors from all over the globe, it was also a major release hub, bridging the gap between the Scene and the broader pirate public.
Today, the site’s fifteen year run unexpectedly came to an end. In a message posted on the site’s front page, the team says its farewells. This message has been separately confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.
RARBG cites multiple reasons behind the surprise decision, including COVID-related health problems which led to the tragic death of one of the people involved. The war between Russia and Ukraine also impacted the team, with RARBG suggesting that it had members fighting on both sides.
