A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.
I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.
When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.
I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.
When rarbg went down I waited a couple weeks for straghlers then stopped seeding all rarbg torrents. Is there a reason to? How will people even find these torrents?
There are archives of all the rarbg magnet links. I still use them to successfully find stuff. As long as those links are out there it is still possible to help people out.
There is a specific magnet link you can get a specific sql file from.
Inside is a cool database containing a big amount of records of torrent magnets which you can input into the tracker and download.

Can’t people still find them from DHT and PEX or whatever they’re called?
yep
