The Pirate Bay remains inaccessible for users as the homepage shows Error 522 Connection Timed Out. The torrent website is facing downtime issues in just two weeks.



Last week on Oct. 17, 2015, The Pirate Bay went offline for the users for a few hours. However, it came back online. The issue was error at host level.



At the browser and CloudFlare level, The Pirate Bay is working fine, but the problem is at host level. "The initial connection between CloudFlare's network and the origin web server timed out. As a result, the web page cannot be displayed."



The visitors of The Pirate Bay are asked to wait and try again after sometime.



Meanwhile, recently the Stockholm District Court made a three-judge panel to decide The Pirate Bay's fate in Sweden. The entertainment industry approached the court to ask the local ISP Bredbandsbolaget to block access to The Pirate Bay for its customers.



Also, Popcorn Time has shut down permanently. According to a report by TorrentFreak, Popcorntime.io has been closed.



"I shutdown all the servers, there is nothing I can do anymore. I deleted any logs that can be harmful for any other dev," Wally, Popcorntime.io developer said to TorrentFreak.



With The Pirate Bay down and Popcorn Time shut down for good, the users wonder about torrent websites.



The article will be updated as development happens.



Update: The Pirate Bay bounced back and is accessible for users.
