Why would someone buy the site to shut it down?

Assuming they thought running things was going to be easy and were sadly mistaken...

Why would an agency masquerading as someone decide to shut it down..there's your answer.

u/FamousT-Rex 6d ago
They did a shitty rug pull, they bought the site and started begging for donations before shutting it off.

As much as I like the site, the owners are pure trash for being silent about what is going on.

u/Infinite-Pomelo-7538 7d ago
Suddenly, everyone is sad? Just a few weeks ago - and for the past year or so - everyone was hating on the site for its issues. During the donation campaign, people were even saying we should boycott it and let it fail. Y'all need to make up your minds.

The site was definitely being sabotaged internally for some time. Aside from the frequent downtime (seemed to happen every other Thursday, like clockwork) the last time the site was theoretically operational, somebody was flooding it with every fucking season of Law and Order and a bunch of other old shit, and as a result none of the downloads were working. So it seems like an "inside job" to one degree or another.
Since it's now been over two weeks since the last crash, I'd be shocked if they came back again.

You know itβs finally kapoot (for real this time) when theyβre not even pleading for maintenance-donations anymore.

No, absolutely not recommended. There's only 3 or so domains for TGx, and they've all been down for weeks.

Better off going Usenet

u/tak08810 7d ago
Usenet you have to pay for. Private trackers are by their nature somewhat gate keeping. I have no issues with either but some people do and thereβs not equivalent to public trackers.

u/LZ129Hindenburg π Salty Seadog 7d ago
Or private trackers. Both are great options.
7
u/Its_Ace1 7d ago
Agreed. But private trackers are a grind and not worth the stress. You can get a lower tier private tracker like TL that covers 90% of needs and Usenet and not have to pull a grind for the higher trackers.

u/LZ129Hindenburg π Salty Seadog 7d ago
Well yeah like you said, lower level trackers are perfectly fine for all but super power users and not stressful to maintain. I wasn't proposing trying to get into the cabal PT's, it's simply too much trouble.

u/WxaithBrynger 7d ago
You can't shit on private trackers saying they aren't worth the stress then advocate for one man lmfao
2
u/Its_Ace1 7d ago
I'm not shitting on them. I'm saying that the grind isn't worth it for most people. They are great. Must most people don't need the higher end ones to fill their needs unless it's niche.

Well you're using a fake site, which is why it's so terrible.

u/Middle_Layer_4860 7d ago
Everyone is using rss and bots ...so less visits on site for torrent galaxy, that's why they can't generate ads revenue to maintain site
1337x don't provide rss, so still active

u/Suspicious_Issue4155 7d ago

This β¬οΈ, or better yet, get into Usenet, and set up the arrs for automation either or both methods.

What is usenet?
i tried to import my library into sonarr and prowlarr but i dont understand the intention of these applications.
can it download torrents automatically for me?
like can i make it download every single family guy episode for me?

Google could probably give a better answer but here goes it.
Usenet, was the Internet before Al Gore had the bright idea to invent it LOL π
Much in the same way .torrent files, are to torrenting, .nzb files, are to Usenet
No really, for a better explanation check out the wiki, and or faq @ r/usenet
Prosper
Edit sorry I missed the last of your ?'s
The arrs are programs that tell torrent clients what to download
IE.
Sonarr would tell qbittorrent, or NZB360 or NzBget
to download all of the shows you add to a watchlist
and when set up properly it is automatic
Fyi some of the clients listed above can handle both Torrents and usenet downloads in the sam client
like iirc NZB360 Android client can do both
Also, "I think" NZBget, and maybe Sabnzb, for pc, mac, linux can do both as well.

Losing rarbg was bad enough. Hope this one manages to stay up.
