I've been seeding some torrents from RARBG for about 6 -4 months, this is before RARBG went offline.
I've noticed that now that these torrents have 0 seeds, 0 peers (except one that has 1 peer).
Is it worth seeding these anymore? Will anyone ever find these torrents?
Keep seeding till the smoke clears at least. There's a database with all the magnets and various projects in the works to keep the legacy of RARBG alive. Awesome pirates such as yourself are crucial to keeping the dream alive.
sounds like a plan. I'll seed for a bit longer. Appreciate the feedback.
Note that torrents do not rely on any specific website to function. And public torrents don't rely on any specific tracker to function either.
You can keep seeding, make sure DHT/PEX is enabled in your torrent client. Torrents will seed/download fine while trackerless and only using DHT/PEX.
The old RARBG trackers are gone so whatever trackers are on those torrents no longer work. It's not a big deal, you can leave them, or delete the trackers, or replace them with working trackers from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist
So, I updated the tracker for one torrent using https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist.
And now it does show that there are 34 seeds. Which is great! But it did erase by Ratio numbers, bummer. I did like knowing how much i'd seeded and for how long. But all good, time to start over! Thanks for the info!
You should consider seeding RARBG reuploaded torrents on TorrentGalaxy. Especially from users like "indexFroggy". After RARBG shutdown TGx stepped up there game preserving RARBG releases. There are now over 5,000 archives at TGx and growing.
