Update, Sunday 2:24 pm ET: Since coming back online Saturday, The Pirate Bay has been experiencing periods of downtime. We will update this post once we know more.

Nearly two months after it went offline following a police raid in Sweden, torrent-indexing site The Pirate Bay is back online.

The comeback is hardly surprising. Following a period of complete unavailability, the site was resurrected in December, with an image of a phoenix replacing its standard pirate-ship logo. The Pirate Bay was not immediately functional, but it featured a timer indicating that the site would resume operations some time around Feb. 1.

The Pirate Bay's current owners have not yet made an official announcement about its return. However, a Saturday report from TorrentFreak said there may be some friction between former and current staff members, with some even planning to launch another version of the site.

Currently, The Pirate Bay is back, and appears to have the same functionality as before, though there are few torrents newer than Dec. 9, when the site was shut down.

The Pirate Bay's recent downtime was one of of the longest in its history; the site has previously had numerous brushes with the law. Its original founders were sentenced to one year in prison for copyright violations in 2009, but The Pirate Bay remained online, and changed several top-level domains (TLDs) in the process.

Following the police raid on its servers in December, the site was unavailable for several weeks; previous and current staffers suggested it would not be coming back.

One of the people running The Pirate Bay, known by the pseudonym "Mr 10100100000," later said that if the site did return, it would be "with a bang."

The Pirate Bay's archive had been publicly available since 2013, and during its latest downtime, several spinoffs of the site appeared. Fellow torrent site Isohunt created its own version, called Old Pirate Bay, and offered $100,000 to developers who could help them develop the site.
