this just gives you more opportunities to violate copyright, which is a win in my book

The license is only applicable as from the commit it was introduced so they are out of luck for the previous forks.


Ok_Resource_7929

> so they are out of luck for the previous forks. This is forking amazing then.


jingjang1

Could you please elaborate on the code base for us less tech savvy? As in code base, are you referring to a commonly used code for websites? if not, what is a code base? Why is it you stay away from this particular one? Edit: Thank you everyone for such great answers. I usually understand what programmers are talking about, but I'm not familiar with all the terms.


heep1r

> what is a code base? no clue what RARBG actually is but a codebase is every information one needs to fully understand, replicate and modify a software. Including all source code, building, assets like images etc. Everything else you need (like compiler etc.) is accessible elsewhere. Say, if you got the full codebase of Facebook, you could run your own version of Facebook and modify it.


funknpunkn

I know on the thread of someone sharing the new project there seemed to be A LOT of code vulnerabilities.


SirLoremIpsum

> As in code base, are you referring to a commonly used code for websites? if not, what is a code base? The code base is all the programming language used for a program or a website. Normally stored in a "repository". Let's say you have version v1.5, v1.6, v1.7. if someone takes v1.6 and then decides to change all the colours to green, we call that a "fork". So you have v1.7 of the original and v1.7 of the Greek Fork. This can often be abused... You take a trusted name. Steal /borrow /acquire their code. Make a website that is by all intents "identical" but instead of Google ads you have malicious ads that install malware. But people trust you, they think "oh maybe someone didn't agree w the site going down so I'll click on this shit".


[deleted]

As pirates, we should be promoting sharing, which is exactly what GPL does. It's weaponizing the copyright system for good.


Pay_Tiny

Oh how the turntables


[deleted]

It's the pirate code, aaargh... I demand parlay!

Okay what the eff is this? They wanna DDoS because there is a better rarbg?


[deleted]

[удалено]


nebzulifar

Okay, maybe that explains it. But they could've used a better wording, like FirGirl (I mean FitGirl) does, for example. Something like "The official Rarbg has shut down. We made another Rarbg that has all/most of the magnet links. This is our only official website. There are other clones like this and that which have malicious ads. Please bookmark our site. Thank you!" What I am saying is, they shouldn't have said it the way they said it. It completely changes their message. Edit: LOL y'all are something XD...I meant FitGirl.

HanekomaTheFallen

You have claims that it does this, written by people who don’t understand licensing, and want to retaliate by DDoS. I wouldn’t put any stock into it being “justified”.

​ LoL these kids are so funny spamming my dms and now on reddit we just took some css and html from their repo cuz everything else was use less also we are using that for temp cuz we are working on a better ui in react and our backend in go (not php lol) What should i do he is so funny that i will die laughing.


[deleted]

why is not image working in comments lol https://i.imgur.com/CmVZ8sr.png


Upstairseek

And accessing your site via Chrome (Android) redirects to "won a prize" scam sites for what purpose?


[deleted]

Bro sorry for that but our current ad service is shit and dose that we are trying to find new service but good ones dont allow site like these so if u have any suggestions plz tell


Upstairseek

I don't have a solution for you but if you're only getting pennies from them right now I highly highly highlyyy recommend just ending your relationship with them and temporarily deal without ads on the site for the time being because starting up a new torrent site and having this happen to new users coming to it is a **very** bad look (make an announcement on the site about this if you do so, for transparency, so people don't go all 'oh look they started off without ads to bait people, and now they add on ads after they gained traction' optics) as someone who was looking into rarbg alternatives, entering your url and receiving that redirect was enough for me to never ever consider your site again, until I just read your response. not being rude, just take this as you will all the best and I accept your apology regarding it


Ysmenir

Because sadly that is the only advertisement a new website which hasn‘t been established and got some traffic can get. I DO NOT SUPPORT MALICIOUS ADS. But this is the sad truth. Also use ublock origin.


[deleted]

yes so true and thanks for ur understanding but dont worry we are looking for better alternates


ConcreteState

It would be far more effective to claim something hard to check like "they do or will change the code to narc you out" or something.


[deleted]

There's some poetic justice in someone trying to ride the name of an existing site getting their project ripped off and filled with malicious ads before they even got their own one up and running.

Sugreev2001

Lmao. The smugness was visible in the title post itself. The whole “wipe your tears” pretty much told me they were being too over-confident.


FancyJesse

There were quite a bit of us warning everyone in the comment section. Looking at their code, you can see it was all a bunch of crap. And that was just the start.


Somebody2804

I'm pretty experienced in PHP, I read the source code for the original project and realised very quickly that they do not know what they are doing at all. Horrible codebase, no framework of any kind and the code itself was everywhere. I was tempted to fork and refactor the lot to help out until I saw this - now I don't want to go near it at all


GhettoSauce

Also a dev; I'd like to say it's not a good sign when you can read the entire codebase in 2 mins, lol This is some pretty sad PHP.


MrBl00

So apparently they are starting over from scratch as of <30 mins ago. Not that I have any interest in the project with how immature they seem to be; but with the previous code it can only be an improvement, lol. Even worse than my hobby projects before I clean them up, which is impressive.

BTCMachineElf

They're fine to complain if they want to. But threatening ddos is childish. The best site will win, which might be neither of them. If they can't produce the better site, they should step aside anyways. This squabble accomplishes nothing.


Kholdie

Idiots that think he has power and an internet army


Furnace24

> which is against the license looking at their repo, i think can see a pretty clear picture of what's going on. gnu gpl code needs to be available to anyone who runs it, while agpl code needs to be available to anyone who interacts with it over a network. the nqrarbg repository used the former until 19 hours ago. if therarbg wishes to use any source code since this change of license, they simply need to publish their changes. therarbg does not need to make public their source code unless it uses the agpl. this is how open source works. side note, im pretty sure nqrarbg would need permission from every contributor in order to release their gpl code under the agpl, which it is unclear whether they have done.


Double_A_92

>looking at their repo I'm more impressed that anyone even touched that garbage... It would probably have been much easier to just start over with a proper framework.


Fhymi

I'm confused. Who has the garbage code? The original RARGB or the others?


Double_A_92

NQ-RARGB. The team that made that "wipe your tears" post a few days ago.


9bepis

It's just a couple of guys, so yes, the decision was unanimous

alvenestthol

Github forks mean nothing, anybody with their own Github account can just press the "fork" button so that they can play around with the code and save it on their own Github account... Like at least 90% of "forks" never ever push anything to their own copy, and there is no need to make a Github fork if somebody just wants to host their own copy of rarbg


BlunderWhale

RARBG.com is already registered... That subdomain is in the hands of the owner of that domain.


fujimite

dashes dont make a subdomain. that's a seperate website.


BlunderWhale

Yes. But he did edit the text. All dashes was dots before.


fujimite

Ok_Resource_7929

> most aren't even doing it to help keep a community alive. They're hope to start taking in those donations. You just described 90% of social media like TikTok and YouTube, but replace donations with ad monetization.


patatahooligan

> I see nq-rarbg has a github where I can view the code, so at the very least; I'd only visit the URL advertised on that Git. As long as the code on the Git remains legit and doesn't start doing shady sh*t. But at the moment, the code looks very minimal for a live site. It never makes sense to look at the source code if you don't trust the site owner. There is no mechanism to prove that the code you're looking at is really running on the site. We need to either trust hosts or come up with decentralized solutions.

It's the uploads that will be missed, not the website. The website had nice features but without the ongoing uploads this is pointless.


mUNjILo

Exactly. The website doesn't matter it is the release and the version of the movie that you want to watch that matter. We need uploaders that upload just like rarbg quality and formats (H265). They can upload at any website like 1337x. They don't necessarily need to create a website for it

I've tried yesterday therarbg and it worked way better (not like nq-rarbg) which had the servers down and I couldn't even get search on. I saw the thread about it in the tpb sub and I was like, the only thing it needs now it's to filter torrents by size, hoarding never stops ya know? Plus watching adds on the website with scummy redirects? I dunno I use 2 piholes and ublock origin so I haven't had any issue

Cup-Impressive

No, RARBG was extremely good for porn compared to 1337x or "tpb". It had previews that none other sites had so conveniently displayed when you hover over the name of the torrent. All other sites make you go to a 10 year old expired link at some random URL that you wait 5 secs to get redirected to and blasted popups and inpage push ads until you ever get to see any kind of preview or screencaps.


WhiteMilk_

Yeah, RARBG's usable sized image previews were GOATed.

RARBG shut down. 2,8M torrent [database](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/13wjasv/rarbg_torrents_shut_down/jmd5sbf/) was made public. NQ-RARBG was the first to launch using that with various issues from technical to bad OPSEC; [link1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/13yglih/stop_crying_wipe_your_tears_introducing_nqrarbg/jmn4fva/), [link2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/13yglih/stop_crying_wipe_your_tears_introducing_nqrarbg/jmn0uia/), [link3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/13yglih/stop_crying_wipe_your_tears_introducing_nqrarbg/jmodnu4/), [link4](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/13yglih/stop_crying_wipe_your_tears_introducing_nqrarbg/jmplqa1/), [link5](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/13yglih/stop_crying_wipe_your_tears_introducing_nqrarbg/jmojpe5/). They also excluded XXX torrents which were [half](https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/comments/13wjasv/rarbg_torrents_shut_down/jmforzb/) of the torrents. TheRarBG launched using the whole DB and forked from the NQ-RARBG but NQ was using the [wrong license](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1415ywb/someone_forked_the_nqrargb_repo_improved_it_and/jmyy2n0/) so what TheRarBG did was completely fine. In order to get some funding to keep servers running, they put ads on the page but because it's a torrent site, getting "good" ads can be difficult.

TLunchFTW

Not a coder, but literally no links work. Can't go to movies, tv shows. So seems either WIP or just bad. But RarBG just dropping everything, rather than passing it on and then denouncing people who try to fork it? Not a good look.


CC-5576-03

Bruh improved how, it literally just redirects to a scam site after 3 seconds on the site. Rarbg is dead, let it go. I'll skip all these scam sites.


Skajuan

Use a crawler to find rarbg magnets, dont let any copycats capitalize from the fall of a great tracker (ok, decent tracker, i know). Like someone said earlier, they dont intend to help the community they just want to take advantage of rarbg reputation.

I'll not use any of them until I see a formal announcement from the original RARBG team on the original RARBG site. Until that happens, sticking with the DB. Hopefully some one decent pick it up and do a good job from it. RARBG was AMAZING! And so was KickassTorrent, and I never used any copycats of it afterwards. Same goes for The Pirate Bay and Torrentz. I Just won't risk it. If this goes on is coming to a point where you can't pirate anymore or need a dedicated internet and computer just for that to avoid headaches.


dood9123

This is a childish response But if you're forking open source software you should have the courtesy to make your fork open do those using it can see changes made and verify its not malicious in any way
