I wonder what's been taking so long. The architecture was supposedly raid-proof as I understood.

The architecture probably was(kind of), but my guess is that their main technician was not.

Alternatives exist anyway, including this one - https://oldpiratebay.org/ https://oldpiratebay.org/

  There are much better alternatives actually, all the torrent sites that already existed before the Pirate Bay went down and don't try to surf on the "Pirate Bay" brand to serve old, static content.

      I normally use the torrentz.com meta search engine and go with the torrent with the most seeds. It then shows me all the sites that have that torrent, and I pick one whose name I recognize. Works like a charm.

        Same, but you will miss some torrents. Both torrentz.eu and kat.ph are complying with DMCA requests.

        That's what I've been using lately. They all seem that have roughly the same torrents on each site.

Apparently the raid hit the last (?) SPOF, the load-balancer that forwarded the request to the actual content servers.

“We were not that surprised by the raid. That is something that is a part of this game. We couldn’t care less really,” Mr 10100100000 informed TF through an encrypted channel. “We have however taken this opportunity to give ourselves a break. How long are we supposed to keep going? To what end? We were a bit curious to see how the public would react.” Without hearing about the exact issues, we get the feeling that a comeback may be more complicated than most people assume. It seems unlikely that the site will return within the next few days, but if it does eventually come back online people will surely notice. “Will we reboot? We don’t know yet. But if and when we do, it’ll be with a bang,” Mr 10100100000 says. http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-crew-responds-to-the-raid-copies-and-the-future-141215/ http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-crew-responds-to-the-raid...
