Early July, The Pirate Bay was compromised by an Argentinian hacker, with the nickname Ch Russó. The site went down a few days later for maintenance. Although the main purpose of the downtime wasn't patching the security holes, the operators were working on solving those issues as well. Apparently they were upgrading the 6-year old database handling, and since then the site has been extremely unstable.

On the SuprBay forums there have been several reports of different issues, ranging from password recovery to torrent uploads. I've experienced some of these myself, and for that reason I've decided to delay the uploads for the time being. At one point, the database was rolled back, losing several days worth of torrents. I don't want this happening to my uploads (fortunately the last torrents I uploaded were backed up), so I'll just keep making new torrents but instead upload them later. I already have a new torrent that is ready for upload, and I'm in the making of more.

I'm doing this to prevent confusion and possibly re-uploads, and I hope you understand. I'll upload them as soon as The Pirate Bay is back and running as usual.

Have a great summer!

Hey guys!
 
As you may or may not have noticed, our website has been down for a little over a week. My previous web host suddenly shut down without any warning, which means I had to find a new one. I got an incredible deal and signed up for the same type of package that I had last time, which should mean a fast server with huge capacity. This is server is based in the U.S., as oppose to the previous one in the U.K. I've spent these last couple of hours re-uploading the files on the new server; fortunately I got most of my files backed up from the previous one. Also, I got a complete backup of the SQL database, which means that if you ever signed up on the forums or the blog, your user will still be there. 
The only thing missing from the website now is the forum files, which are being uploaded as we speak. I expect to have it back within 24 hours.
 
As soon as the website is 100% back to normal, I will set my focus on more The Big Bang Theory episodes. I've been busy with some other projects in personal life as well, and expect to be done with that in just a couple of days.
