The announcement had the effect of a bomb! One of the giants of illegal download, the Torrent Rarbg site has decided by itself to close its doors.
At a time when the war against torrent sites and other illegal downloads rage, the illegal Rarbg Torrent site has decided to close its doors after 15 years of existence.
A surprise closure insofar as the administrators do not evoke legal action against Rarbg. Other reasons are at the origin of this closure of this site which, in 15 years, has established itself as one of the essentials of the torrent.
On the home page, the administrators explain that “some people from the team died from the COVVID, that” others still suffer the side effects and can no longer work at all and that some wage war in Ukraine “.
They also explain that the Rarbg site was hit hard by the increase in the price of electricity in the datacenters in Europe and by inflation, hence the decision to close Rarbg.
This sudden closure which announces the end of a torrent giant opens the way to other alternatives for users. Indeed, the other Torrent sites will benefit from the closure of Rarbg as well as direct download.
After the closure of this platform, which has established itself as one of the essentials of the torrent, “scavengers” of the web will create extensions and other Rarbg clones to surf its past success.
