Pirate Bay: Notorious File-Sharing Site Offline After Raid in Sweden NBCNEWS The Pirate Bay, the most notorious file-sharing site on the Internet, has gone dark after Swedish authorities raided a server room in Stockholm on Tuesday. It's not the first time this has happened — in fact, the site is known for being taken down by authorities, due to being a unapologetic platform for trading copyrighted media. But this outage may be more serious than some from the past, and The Pirate Bay wasn't the only target. Other popular BitTorrent sites and trackers (the servers that coordinate traffic between downloaders), such as EZTV and Torrage, have also disappeared. Even non-torrent services provided by The Pirate Bay, including text and image-sharing sites, are no longer functional. Apart from confirming to the Swedish Metro news site that police and digital forensics officers seized a number of computers and servers, little information is known about the extent of the police action. If history is any guide, these highly resilient sites will be back up again soon, but with the gradual arrest of all three founders of The Pirate Bay over the last few years, the venerable piracy site's days may in fact be numbered. -
That's just one of the many proxy services that mirrors the actual Pirate Bay site. You might be able to find torrents there because of leftover cache, but there's no new uploads, and the suprbay forum is down as well. "Just to be clear, thepiratebay.ee, thepiratebay.cr, thepiratebay.mobi and others are mirrors not affiliated with the original site. They serve old content (no new uploads) and are not TPB resurrections. If the site reappears it will be on the original .se domain." THE PIRATE BAY IS NOT BACK UP. https://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-bay-has-not-been-resurrected-yet-141210/ Follow the story at Torrentfreak. https://torrentfreak.com/tag/the-pirate-bay/
You are correct. As you suggested, users should follow TorrentFreak for latest news regarding TPB and is the most trusted news source as they confirm their sources prior to publishing. My apologies for jumping the gun on that one. It was a day of much drama for many.
That's a little weird. There's listings there as late as 30 minutes ago. (And that doesn't mean "30 minutes ago" relative to before TPB went down, because there's torrents for current programming, such as the December 12 (i.e. today) episode of WWE Smackdown, for example.) So it's obviously not (just) a PB archive. Are they mixing TPB archives with their own isohunt results? For actual archives you might try the actual proxies... http://proxybay.info/
I have to give them credit, they bounce back from every attack on them. Very few of the large trackers have survived the unnecessary nuking of torrent websites.
