The Pirate Bay is still having difficulty keeping the ship afloat. After a curious login problem redirected users to the wrong accounts this weekend, the upload functionality now appears to be broken. As a result, no new files have been added to the site for half a day.

More than a month has passed since The Pirate Bay returned online, but the notorious torrent site continues to face problems.

Aside from a persistent hosting whac-a-mole the site is also dealing with failing features.

For example, a few days ago several users were surprised to see that they were being redirected to other user’s accounts after logging in.

Several users panicked fearing that their accounts had been hijacked or breached, but luckily the users were only redirected. They didn’t actually gain access to the accounts of others.

Today another issue popped up, one that’s blocking new content from being added to the site. Starting roughly 12 hours ago the The Pirate Bay’s upload functionality broke, displaying a “500 Internal Server Error” instead.

The upload problem appears to be global as no new files have been added to the site since. The most recent upload listed on The Pirate Bay is from 5:15 CET.

It’s not clear what’s causing the upload issue. It appears to be a misconfiguration or related technical error, possibly the result of a recent move to a new hosting company.

TorrentFreak reached out to The Pirate Bay’s admin and we will update this article if we hear back. For the time being Pirate Bay users will have to do without fresh uploads.

Update March 3: Uploads started working again, but it’s going up and down.
