One of the grand torrenting sites, The Pirate Bay, is back with its original .org domain after a month. It’s been facing a lot of downtimes in recent weeks, and there’s also a change of nameservers we’ve noticed. But now, the site is accessible from its old domain, with changes nameservers and few alterations to the public site. Other than this, the registrar and registrant were of the same as the past.

The Pirate Bay is undoubtedly one of the best platforms for finding any digital content. You’d get hundreds, if not thousands of sources, what you’ve looking for. So any downtime of this site would generally create significant havoc in the community. And it did. The Pirate Bay has been inconsistent in the past week, as it changed the whois DNS records, nameservers, and even sent a day’s traffic via a local black hole.

After a lot of confusion, it’s now live again

But now, the site was back still online and is accessible through its original domain. This time, it was slightly updated. Yesterday, The Pirate Bay changed its nameservers from Cloudflare to EasyDNS, and all the traffic through it was transported through the 127.0.0.1, which was a local black hole! There’s no reason mentioned by the site owners for making these changes.

After all, it’s now online with changing the details again. This time, it shifted back to Cloudflare service, but with changed nameservers set. The Pirate Bay has now moved from dean.ns.cloudflare.com and sofia.ns.cloudflare.com nameservers to deb.ns.cloudflare.com and sevki.ns.cloudflare.com. Further, there are few changes noticed in the site’s appearance as well.

Links for About Us and Blog pages were removed, and the Login and Register links redirect back to the home page only. And it’s using a torrindex.net domain for static content. Other than these, the registrar is still EasyDNS, and it’s registered on Fredrik Neij name, one of the co-founders of site.

Being on the surface web, it’s common that sites as The Pirate Bay be removed now and then. But the Tor site of this in Dark Web will always be accessible. So if you’re in a search for something essential and found the general site pulled down, try accessing the dark web one. You can do a simple Tor search of that to see.
