"Just download the db.zip" sounds kinda scammy. Just saying...
Eh, it's this com, if you know, you know, and due diligence is expected.
But to help, when they fell they dropped their db as a torrent. I passed the size as an indicator of a known (to me) good. Try or don't.
Anything involving pirating is scammy, that's just the nature of things. It's expected one knows how to do research and take calculated risks.
And a file called "rarbg-db.zip" doesn't raise any flags? There's naming conventions for files like this, so you know what the general content is, who the uploader or repackager is, some more info and also to make it look more honest. I wouldn't trust this.
It's mostly text files. Completely safe.
Cool, then don't.
