Whenever thepiratebay goes down, it is a disaster for me to find anything online. The megathread is next to useless, taking me to all these crazy sites that don’t have a torrent option. Instead, they have individual episode downloads of 600 episode TV series. And to access each individual episode, I have to click on a mirror that takes me elsewhere. Then, from that site, I have to click on something that takes me to another site. Then, I have to wait 10 seconds, then I have to confirm the download, then it asks me if I want to pay for premium, then it takes 30 minutes to download one episode.
I’m not actually sure what the community’s goal is here. To me, it seems like the entire idea of piracy will go down if thepiratebay ever goes permanently down because this giant “community resource” we have is an utter cluster, with so much garbage shoved in it.
Outside of thepiratebay, how do you guys effectively perform any of the tasks one would want to do on a place like this?
It’s blocked for me in Europe because of the sanctions against Russia, but I can easily access it using TOR browser. Might want to try that if you don’t want to use a vpn.
Why are you using your isp’s DNS? Change it to something like 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9 or any number of others to bypass the Australian ISP DNS filtering

I bet it would be as simple as changing your DNS server to bypass this
Yes, all they need to do is change their DNS servers. Zero cost.
Use a proxy.

never had an issue tbh
Is that some sort of ISP-level block?
Sounds like you need a VPN.
Or maybe just an IP address
That or another DNS server

Though ideally you should be using a VPN instead
It did that for me but I fixed it with a VPN (which you should be using anyway)
Try one of these
All you need to do is change your DNS servers. It costs you nothing.
Google it. Or simply use NEXTDNS.
It’s only a DNS block in Australia, your ISP isn’t routing you to it. There are benefits to using a bigger DNS provider like Cloudflare etc.
What about watchsomuch.to?
use a vpn?
Use the money you save pirating software and movies to pay for a vpn to pirate them with.
VPNs are really cheap
Imagine not using a VPN for torrent content and using that fact as a kind of gotcha…
