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?

    No.

    The RARBG tracker, that keeps track on anyone that has the file are offline so they’ll not be able to connect you with anyone.

      What about the DHT peer exchange? These torrents can become trackerless and work just fine if your client find other peers in alternative ways.

      This is not true. I downloaded a txt file posted after the closi ng of the site with all the magnet links and have used it for several movies after and they all worked fine.

      @Hcbille @Campsite6926 While you’re right, you’re also wrong. The DHT allows for these torrents to be found still, but it’s less effective than a tracker.
