Lots of popular torrent sites going down in the last couple of years, all without explanation.

RARGB was taken down by Covid and the war at least

RARBG was taken down by its owner's incompetence. He was paying several hundred dollars a month for bandwidth that costs tens elsewhere.

This happens to a lot of sites sadly. You see old forums shut down all the time citing costs when the community could’ve saved it if they’d been given any kind of notice.

I suspect that kind of traffic is not allowed by most hosters

Any news of a backup sqlite db available over IPFS for that decentralized searchable goodness? just like RARBG[1] & TorrentParadise[2] have? It's not ideal, in fact very slow and stale but better than nothing for rare stuffs.

I've found https://torrent.garden, which seems to constantly index, but some stuff is kinda broken. Also it's completely unfiltered.
