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.
uncivilized but fair
LOL
Fucking dumb punks.
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?
They are, afaik. Infohash: A2CA83E177DF5CB1966DFC1D262BC751E4987405
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.
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
Genuine question, why to put anything RARBG related in GitHub?
Because you’re a fucking idiot, that’s why you’d do it.
I see our first edgy preteens have also made the jump over here too.
Shut the fuck up, assclown.
can you make a torrent with the data?
Sounds like they are really coming down with the hammer… looks like the clone sites are still up and running.
Is there anywhere else it has moved to? I have a fairly recent physical backup on my machine
You should make a torrent of the info and share that
Could gitlab be an alternative?
GitHub and GitLab are both public US companies, they are gonna happily comply with any DMCA request they receive
You can self-host Gitlab though, unlike GitHub.
You can self-host GitHub too, but a license for GitHub Enterprise Server costs a lot of money
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
Is this really a surprise to anyone? Github isn’t exactly a piracy friendly site.

Is there even any reason to crack Windows anymore? The whole thing is freely available and you just have to live with a watermark.
MAS?

Does anybody know the magnet links to them? If yes, please DM them to me, thanks!
Here’s the infohash: A2CA83E177DF5CB1966DFC1D262BC751E4987405
