Post about YTS and RARBG. Okay I checked modlog, did not know it existed =)

• Removed Post YTS Started Faking There Rips - reason: Breaking rule 3
• Removed Post RARBG Clone Sites - reason: Unsafe sites

Both reasons are stupid! This should not be locked or removed.

Modern scene dosn’t even require strict .nfo files. Most TV groups in WEB or HDTV sections just add basic metainfo and maybe imdb link and barely include any nice ASCII art. Only the oldest and best groups do ASCII art nfo files with all kinds of useful info inside. However all scene groups are required to include .sfv rar checksum files. I’ve never seen any p2p groups do this. Most p2p groups .nfo files are forum html of mediainfo. But when scene releases leak to public and unrared files like .sfv are deleted most of the time by uploaders. So within the scene checsums work as they should, in public not so much. But there is sites like srrDB.com that you can use and most of there .nfo posts for .srr files also include .sfv files.

From official scene web rules: 19.5.8) Format refers to whether the release is transcoded (WEBRip.x264/x265) or untouched (WEB.H264/WEB.H265). Source: https://scenerules.org/html/2020_WDX.html

There is GitLab repo @ https://gitlab.com/rfwatson/torrents.csv if anyone else is interested running this on there server.

WEBDL is a p2p tag. Scene only uses WEB or WEBRip tags.

yt-dlp is the easiest way if video is not drm protected. If video is drm protected, you can use “–allow-u” option and than figure out a way to decrypt the video (which is not easy) A good place to start is at https://www.videohelp.com/ You can find posts like Help downloding DRM video
