• Pirate Bay

    From Trevor Wilson@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, August 16, 2026 08:37:04
    I've been trying to get onto Pirate Bay for a couple of days and I
    receive a 'Time out' each time. I've tried turning on and off my VPn,
    but I can't get through.

    I'm using this address: thepiratebay.org I've used this address for some
    time with great success, but today.

    Any thoughts?

    **Thanks for that. Except for the annoying popups, it seems to work.

    Works fine for me and I have just tried it

    I have been using this for years now and have never seen that https://www.pirateproxy-bay.com

    Any thoughts?

    If the link I use doen't work for you, your isp
    may well have disabled the use of pirate bay
    as the govt has stupidly required them to do

    **Although your link does work, it sets off my Avast alarms. In any
    case, my original link is now operational today.

    Thanks for your input.

    He's talking about going to pirate bay to search for torrents,
    not the torrent starting the download in your torrent client
    Fugg; just go back a step!

    That would make sense if you're using an old web browser and the
    site will only allow connections using the latest encryption
    cyphers that your browser's not new enough to support.

    Alternatively you might have security settings ramped up in your
    browser so _it_ only connects using the best encryption, but that
    website only supports older encryption methods. You'd probably know
    all about it if you'd done that though.

    Works fine for me, so you isp is deliberately stopping
    you using pirate bay. Who is your isp ?? Works fine for
    me on superloop. When I sent a torrent link to a mate
    of mine on dodo, it didn't work for him, don't think he
    ever told me the exact error message. He is now with
    tpg but on their 5G service, not the NBN anymore
    because he's in a big block of flats which has FTTP
    but the comms room gets flooded in heavy rain so
    the NBN service is fucked and the strata comittee
    won't pay the substantial money involved in fixing it

    Using Otpus. I can access btdig and deildu (other torrent sites).
