Just got DMCA takedown notices from Github for my rarbg dump forks. The originals were also taken down.

Yes, because you have to a be a fucking moron to think Github is the place to splat a bunch of fucking torrent shit you braindead cousinfucker.

If anyone's wondering, here's the infohash of a torrent containing most (all?) of RARBG's stuff: A2CA83E177DF5CB1966DFC1D262BC751E4987405

Been seeding this 24/7 for weeks and barely upped anything so far, community has been amazing surrounding the closure of RARBG. Lots of people trying so hard to always help this community, and I'm proud to be a part of it. TY everyone for all you do, and yarrr

This is amazing! Thank you!

Why aren't they in torrents?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They are, afaik. Infohash: A2CA83E177DF5CB1966DFC1D262BC751E4987405

I hadn't been keeping up with the different dumps so am not sure how up to date it is - But I still have the rarbg_db.zip torrent magnet that was first linked over in /r/PiratedGames, I think (?) it ended up being the first version of that 2004content/rarbg github. Torrent hash is A2CA83E177DF5CB1966DFC1D262BC751E4987405 if anyone needs it.

But yeah I agree with /u/db0 these should all be torrents. Hopefully there's a cleaned up merged version floating around in torrent form.

EDIT: That reminds me, torrents-csv maybe needs some help importing these RARBG torrents into their own database https://git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic/torrents-csv-data/issues/1

Came here to see if anyone else had, my fork was taken down as well. Not to mention the file linked in the email for the notice doesn't exist so I can't even see what was claimed. I had planned to fight the takedown since at the time I forked it, there wasn't nothing infringing that I saw.

I've contacted github for a copy of the notice, we'll see what happens.

Genuine question, why to put anything RARBG related in GitHub?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

can you make a torrent with the data?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Sounds like they are really coming down with the hammer.. looks like the clone sites are still up and running.

Could gitlab be an alternative?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

GitHub and GitLab are both public US companies, they are gonna happily comply with any DMCA request they receive

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can self-host Gitlab though, unlike GitHub.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can self-host GitHub too, but a license for GitHub Enterprise Server costs a lot of money

Is there anywhere else it has moved to? I have a fairly recent physical backup on my machine

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

You should make a torrent of the info and share that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

All torrent sites should do a monthly magnet link dump via torrent to ensure they survive if taken down. I know TPB did a few dumps but no idea if any other site did

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this really a surprise to anyone? Github isn't exactly a piracy friendly site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Did anyone keep a backup lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does anybody know the magnet links to them? If yes, please DM them to me, thanks!
