When we got blindsided by rarbg's downfall I saw quite a few people post dumps of their torrent database, with none of them in a dummy usable format. I am not database literate so raw sql dumps are useless to me...

That was about the time I got banned from Reddit so I never saw the completion of the archive stuff on /r/piracy. Did someone in fact get the rarbg torrent database into a usable format that I could use? There's still a lot of older movies and TV that I'd love to pick up from them and my old habits die hard.

You can go through that database pretty easy with a database viewer. DB Browser for SQLite is open source and simple to use.

not sure how you'd go about automating it

Ah okay. Not sure I need to automate it so much I just want to search what I want and hopefully scrape as much content as I still can off public trackers and DHT. Thank you very much for the tool enlightenment!

You honestly would need to automate it really, just search using scene naming conventions Media.Title.RlsYear.[Resolution.]Codec.[Special-Video-Features][.Audio-Format]-RlsGroup (Rls group can be rarbg or scener, bracketed tags are not required on every release if there isn't anything to note for those categories. Special features in this instance is HDR, dolby vision etc)

How do I download stuff ? Do I just paste the hash of the file in my torrent client ?

exactly. qbittorrent has a "add torrent link" button in the top left that will automatically add stuff from your clipboard
