The popular torrenting site RARBG has unexpectedly shut down due to various challenges. The past two years have been difficult for the team, with some members facing COVID-related complications and others engaged in the war in Europe. Additionally, rising data center costs and inflation made it financially unsustainable. The shutdown is a significant loss, as RARBG was a highly regarded torrenting site known for high-quality uploads. The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian War on peer-to-peer file sharing, affordable prices for Russians, and changes in Bulgaria’s piracy laws may have also contributed. Ultimately, the closure highlights the complexities and expenses involved in running a torrenting site.
