Cool, someone re-start the RARBG on Amazon then. What's the fuss all about?

  It's deprecated and I believe it only used to work in very old AWS regions for legacy reasons. Not sure what the current status is but it clearly has no future.

    Even cooler, someone start a hosting for legitimate businesses like RARBG.

      You mean like https://1984.hosting https://1984.hosting? Or more like https://legittorrents.info https://legittorrents.info, which shut down recently[1]? I had never heard of RARBG before, so I don't know if they were legitimate and you are being sarcastic or serious?

        Mate, you're being obnoxious.

        I have no idea why explaining how I use the website to the question on what the website is about would be obnoxious but O.K.

      What is it with you and your extremely aggressive and yet unproductive comments?
      - mrtksn 3y ago
        >What is it with you and your extremely aggressive and yet unproductive comments? Entertaining hypothetical edge cases to examine an argument's soundness has become extremely aggressive behaviour? Anyway, my apologies.

        beeig edgy and exploring edge cases for the sake of the argument has indeed become somewhat anti-social. i guess it has something to do with the width of the audience, as the bigger the crowd, the more likely it is that someone will take you serious and make a fuss about it.
        mrtksn 3y ago
        Who are those people who are offended when you introduce an edge case against their argument? This is very weird behaviour because the whole civilisation is built on finding edge cases to demonstrate that a model doesn't work. For example, would it be offensive to say that a feather and a hammer will fall at the same speed on the moon to take down the Aristotle's theory of gravity? Is it OK to not talk about that kind of stuff in order not to offend Aristotletes?

        Reporter: So, to end the interview I have to ask you about an experiment that everyone's talking about and you must be aware of. It's been said that marbles and cannonballs dropped from a tower at the same time have been seen to land at the same time. If there are any comments you'd like to make about that, I'm sure the public would love to hear them. Aristotle Scholar: You know, I'm actually glad you asked this, because these kind of "gotcha" questions show everyone the unfortunate state of journalism today, its disrespect for scholarship, and its willingness to peddle whatever trash that people are circulating in order to undermine our institutions.
