ThePirateBay.se

[nahtnam]

Hey!

I know thepiratebay.se was taken down but I saw something interesting today.

Usually when I went to the site it never loaded, but today it loaded to a black screen.

When I took a look at the source, it had some isohunt source links, and adcash javascripts loaded.

Why is it back up?

[rhino34567]

You might want to reload the page. I see a background video of a pirate flag. I checked the source and it does seem like there's some stuff from isohunt, but I can't say why.

I'm on Chrome, so maybe try that?

I think you need Flash to see it.

Not sure why its not working for me. Im running flash 16.0.0.

When I press "View Video in New Tab", it opens an mp4 file.

EDIT: Opened in Incognito and now it just shows a skull flag.

TorrentFreak published an article about this yesterday: http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-domain-back-online-waving-a-pirate-flag-141221.



It doesn't reveal a lot more though; according to the article, the pirate flag seems to be hosted by IsoHunt's Open Bay site, but there has been no official answer as to what is going on behind the scenes.

[Injust]

Hoping that this is a sign that the Pirate Bay might go back online soon...

[Parazyd]

Check out the timer now!  Seems it's counting the time TPB is down.
So excited... I'm guessing IsoHunt could be taking it over or something.

It's actually OpenBay (IsoHunt's project: http://openbay.isohunt.to/)

[BiTJack]

Now there seems to be some kind of hash on the site: JyO7wNzc8xht47QKWohfDVj6Sc2qH+X5tBCT+uetocIJcjQnp/2f1ViEBR+ty0Cz
Is that some sort of a magnet link?
Edit: It's not: unable to parse magnet URI!

Alright, thought it meant something. There's some sound in it with webm file but chrome & ff won't let me unmute it.   Edit: Gotcha again nothing it's the bg.mp4 flie got excited for nothing hope it gets fully functional soon.

[Parazyd]

The videos have nothing hidden in them. They have been hosted by IsoHunt way before TPB was taken down.

No IsoHunt is not involved in this.

Although I can't seem to access the site at the moment.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Kickass torrents is the (imho) best alternative site, until piratebay comes back on. I was surprised when I first found out.

[1Referee]

Domain being back up is a great sign. I really can't wait to have thepiratebay back.

Till that time I'm quite happy with kickass.so 

[Stedsm]

Just use another site like isohunt.

Hoepfully it comes back one day!

Private trackers, or just try torrentz.eu (it's a meta search engine).

I downloaded about 100gb of data today, the same one that I had previously gotten from TPB. So they are pretty great.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Kind of off topic, but would anyone know the best method of storing torrented movies? Would prefer not to have to re-torrent it upon getting onto a new laptop.

[BadBear]

Build or buy a file server. Something like this if you're cheap http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859107052 Or just a large external drive if you're really cheap and don't need much storage.

Or roll your own and go with FreeNAS, Unraid, or one of the other solutions. I made mine out of leftover computer parts and it works great. The original version of it I ran for 2 years had a sempron 140 in it, which is a 2.7 GHz single core so you don't need a beast just to run some hard drives. Though more power helps if you want it to perform other duties like torrents, usenet, Kodi server, transcoding, etc. Upside to a file server is you can offload all those sorts of duties to it, and not have to leave your main computer/laptop on and busy. Also some protection against drive failure.

[sickhouse]

You can do what BadBear said, or if you decide to keep your old laptop, you can make a server out of it.

Also, not sure if this will work, but you can buy a raspberry pi and hook it up to a hard drive.

iptorrents.com is pretty good for a beginner. Keep in mind that private tracker have very strict rules and you have to mantain a download:upload ratio. Which means, you must leave your torrents on seed and/or upload new content.

[moko666]

kickass.to is second choice after piratebay.se
since piratebay is down, give a try to kickass.to
a lot a useful stuff there

The Open Bay is just a snapshot of data from The Pirate Bay, but it's also missing many torrents that were exclusive to The Pirate Bay, unfortunately.

In my honest opinion, it's a dumb movie.
It entertains for 2 hours but I'd never spend a dime to see it, it's just too dumb.
It even failed to make me laugh...
I'd say it is a movie for those who liked the Hangover trilogy.
Too much fuss over almost nothing.

Almost; the counter's currently at 19 days, 21 hours, and 00 minutes.


Anyway, it seems that with all this, the number of Pirate Bay clones reached nearly 400, in just one week - but better still, it might spur the development of better, fully decentralized, open source alternatives.

This week, most of the Pirate Bay copies have been growing from Isohunt.to’s OpenBay project. Thus far nearly 400 Pirate Bay clones have launched and the people behind the initiative say that OpenBay is currently the most popular project on developer platform GitHub.

[...]

“Our current goal is to not only make it open source, but eventually provide a fully decentralized torrent database for the community,” they add.

Honeypot?

A trap, type of sting operation.

In law enforcement, a sting operation is a deceptive operation designed to catch a person committing a crime. A typical sting will have a law-enforcement officer or cooperative member of the public play a role as criminal partner or potential victim and go along with a suspect's actions to gather evidence of the suspect's wrongdoing.
Sting operations are common in many countries including the United States,[1] but not allowed in other countries such as Sweden.[2]

The only downside is that I don't trust any upload since the old crew is not active anymore.

Wonder how long until its taken down again..

[(oYo)]

I just see that thepiratebay.se is back again, which is great news of course.

The only downside is that I don't trust any upload since the old crew is not active anymore.

For that reason I will continue with kickass.so

Same here. I'm quite happy with kickass.so and will continue using it.

The beauty is back online :]
Waited for too long, ( also used kickass as alternative) .

Wonder how long until its taken down again..

I just noticed that it's back online once again but I'am wondering how they got it done and if they are the same people ... because last time they stated something like "for how long we are going to fight etc ... we should stop" , they was planning to let it down

I use ad and pop-up blockers and have never been happier. There's enough tits and ass on the internet without being subjected to the relentless bombardment of unwanted ads and pop-ups.

At the very beginning there is an ad with cam girls.

Some times when you close the ad window it asks you 'are you sure you want to close this window?' it gives you the option to click YES or NO.

Never click on YES or NO. Go to task manager and kill your browser from there.

I disabled adblocker on Piratebay only and I saw no porn add, just normal ones about games and cosmetics.

Such disappointment. I will keep using kickass

Kickass might be good, but they don't have comment for the torrents.

The comments help to find out if the torrent is good or not and to solve issues

They do have comments...

If it wasnt for the legality of the way torrents are used to infringe copyrights etc people really overlook how easy it is to transfer really large files like 10+ gb with torrents, you dont need google drive / skydrive / dropbox etc or anything of that sorts.

The Pirate Bay is like whack-a-mole ... I love it.

If there's one site on the internet where I don't mind ads, it's the tpb. I have no problem seeing their ads considering what they bring to the freedom of the internet.

There are quite legit torrents around there and yes, it's quite a great way.
But only to distribute files (size independent) over lots of users.
And that's why there is also a load of copyright infringing content.
But is it the problem which content people download or is it the hole copyright idea wrong instead?
Putting aside those who download and resell the contents (which yes, it is wrong), isn't that the way some of that content really reaches the public?
Would some of the worst movies ever, be seen by anyone if it wasn't for the "illegal" download?
Would anyone ever listen to Taylor Swift if it wasn't the mp3?
This reminds me the eternal dilemmas raised by MP3 and yet, nowadays it is the standard!

Between only two users I prefer sftp.
