The Pirate Bay has been hard to reach for more than a day, causing concern among some BitTorrent users. The outage is likely caused by technical issues, so the site is expected to resurface soon. Meanwhile, some of the site's proxies and its Tor domain are still working fine.

The main Pirate Bay domain has been offline for the last one-and-a-half days.

 

For most people, the site currently displays a Cloudflare error message across the entire site, with the CDN provider referring to a “bad gateway.”

 

No further details are available to us and there is no known ETA for the site’s full return. Judging from past experience, however, it’s likely a small technical hiccup that needs fixing.

 

There are no issues with the domain name itself and Cloudflare seems to be fully functional as well.

Pirate Bay downtime, bad gateway

TorrentFreak hasn’t heard anything from the TPB team but these type of outages are not unusual. The Pirate Bay has had quite a few stints of downtime in recent months. The popular torrent site usually returns after several hours.

 

Amid the downtime, there’s still some good news for those who desperately need to access the notorious torrent site.

 

TPB is still available via its .onion address on the Tor network, accessible using the popular Tor Browser, for example.

The site’s Tor traffic goes through a separate server and works just fine. However, based on the irregular uploads, that’s not going completely smoothly either.

 

In addition, some of The Pirate Bay’s unofficial proxy sites are still working fine and showing new torrents.

 

As always, more details on The Pirate Bay’s current status are available on the official forum, but don’t expect any ETA there.

 

“Patience is the game we are all playing for now,” TPB moderator demonS notes.
