Karagarga
File sharing archive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karagarga ("black crow" in Turkish[1]), often abbreviated KG, is a members-only Internet forum, BitTorrent tracker, and file sharing archive used primarily for sharing and downloading films considered to be obscure or rare.[2][3] The website's community of members are dedicated to "creating a comprehensive library of arthouse, cult, classic, experimental and rare movies from all over the world."[4] Karagarga is closed to the public, and is accessible by exclusive invitation only.[2][3]

Karagarga's archive contains tens of thousands of films, many of which are unavailable for acquisition or viewing by other means.[2] Members are prohibited by the website's moderators from uploading films considered to be Hollywood (or Bollywood) productions or mainstream blockbusters.[2][3] The archive also contains books, magazines, albums and television series.[2] Beyond sharing media, members have also been known to create subtitles for films in languages not previously made available, such as English subtitles for a number of films by Iranian director Sohrab Shahid-Saless.[5] Subtitles may be requested by contributing ratio credit toward "pots", which is then given to any user who translates and uploads subtitles for the corresponding film.
