The scallywags at The Pirate Bay have created a new port for all digital pirates to drop anchor. The popular torrent directory recently released a mobile version of its website after years of cramming the PC version onto mobile screens.

The new look is unmistakably The Pirate Bay with its trademark ship logo, options to search, browse, view recent torrents and the top 100.

Along with the refreshed look, the Pirate Bay's new mobile site has its own URL. Instead of auto-detecting your screen size and delivering the mobile version under the same web address, the mobile Pirate Bay is located at themobilebay.org.

In a discussion with Torrent Freak, the team behind The Pirate Bay says they decided to use a new site address to better resist takedown attempts.

Mobile users who visit The Pirate Bay's main site are supposed to be redirected to the new site. But in my brief tests on a Nexus 4 and 7 that wasn't the case. Trying to visit The Mobile Bay from a PC, however, did trigger a redirect to the PC-friendly version of the site.

With only a few torrent apps available for Android and none for iOS, most people are still downloading (non-infringing) torrents from their PCs. Nevertheless, the mobile web site is still handy for browsing and may actually become an important tool in the coming months.

Torrent Freak reports that The Pirate Bay team is also at work on a project called the RSSBay. This site would support personalized RSS feeds that would allow you to add a torrent to your feed on the go. Adding new content to your feed could then be used to start an automatic torrent download on your PC at home.

Considering it took The Pirate Bay team quite a while to get their act together to create a mobile site, your can probably count on seeing the RSSBay later rather than sooner.
