The Pirate Bay has been offline for 24 hours, causing concern among many BitTorrent users. The TPB team is aware of the situation and says the problems are being caused by technical issues, so the site is likely to rebounce soon.

The Pirate Bay has been unreachable for more than a day now.

TorrentFreak reached out to the TPB team and we were informed that there’s a technical issue with the servers that should be resolved soon.

The Pirate Bay currently displays a CloudFlare error message across all domain names, confirming that TPB’s servers are unresponsive.

In addition to the main thepiratebay.se domain name, the .onion address and various proxy sites are also offline.

The Pirate Bay has had quite a few stints of downtime in recent weeks. The popular torrent site usually returns after several hours, but an outage of more than 24 hours is relatively rare.

With the raid of 2014 still fresh in people’s minds, some are quick to spread panic, but these concerns are unwarranted.

Update: The Pirate Bay is back, and used the opportunity to do some upgrades as well.
