The world-renowned and largest torrent website RARBG suddenly shut down. The reason for the shutdown was not copyright, but the epidemic, war and electricity prices.
Maybe many people don't know what RARBG is, so let's put it this way: Most subtitle groups and resource websites in China basically move resources from this website . RARBG should be the granary of domestic BT resources! This is the patriarch of global open resources. Without it, more than half of domestic resource stations would not be able to get along.
RARBG has issued a brief announcement announcing the closure of the station. The reasons for their suspension are quite complicated, and they are all force majeure. It seems that it is a condensed version of the contemporary history of Europe in recent years.
> The reasons given by them are as follows:
Some important members died due to the new crown epidemic;
Many others are suffering from sequelae and unable to work;
Some members are busy fighting (both Russian and Ukrainian sides); some Russian colleagues are fighting Ukrainians on the battlefield, and some Ukrainian colleagues are fighting Russians on the battlefield.
Coupled with the soaring electricity costs and soaring prices in Europe at this stage, the team is really unsustainable
Inflation was really unbearable, and finally everyone voted unanimously to shut down Station R...
This announcement was seen by future generations and they thought it was the end of the world: plagues, wars, soaring prices, and unsustainable daily expenses. Didn’t it mean that prices in Europe are stable and inflation is controllable? Those who believe in advertisements still believe in their locals?

RARBG is a well-known BitTorrent tracker and resource sharing website. It provides seed files of various types of video, music, games, software and other resources for users to download.
At the beginning of its business in 2007, it was only an unknown Eastern European resource site, but after the infighting of PublicHD's management in 2014, it became the largest comprehensive 0day resource site on the entire network, and it has been nine years since then.
In the past nine years, RARBG has transformed from simply transporting resources to a comprehensive resource platform that not only transports other people's 0day resources but also suppresses the release of x264/x265 resources.
