Become your own PirateBay Download their index today, before the RIAA and IFPI does By Rob Kerr Monday, 17 August 2009, 17:28 EVER WANTED to run The Pirate Bay from your OWN computer? Well now you can as some bright spark as created a downloadable 21.3GB index file of the site which has already seen over 1600 downloads.It's not all the files the website has access to, just the main index which provides access to those 873,671 torrent files.The afore-mentioned bright spark, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Torrentfreak he was disappointed with the sale of the Pirate Bay and wanted to create a backup.After leeching this file you can be your own torrent site, but it also means the likes of the RIAA and IFPI can also download it and possibly gain access to the IP addresses of those who used the site.The legal actions resulting from that would keep the lawyers in Gucci for a year or two.If you feel throwing caution into the wind, get the torrent from here today. µ

@ woodyear... well was thinking about keeping things private and gatt centric, not really for piracy. mediafire is a decent site, but what if the site vanishes and all the data goes. well it was just a thought... say wa..
FEARING THAT potential new owners Global Gaming Factory (GGF) will turn The Pirate Bay into a legitimate download portal, one enterprising user has backed up the site's entire 900,000 file database into a single 21GB torrent file which is, as we write, being shared or downloaded by close to 1,500 peer to peer users.It is now a very real possibility that hundreds of Pirate Bay clones will pop up all over the Internet, making a mockery of the amount of time and effort taken by the music and film cartels to put an end to the torrent search and tracking site's nefarious activities.According to Torrentfreak, the first working copy of the clone is already up and running, and we're sure it won't be long before it is joined by many more.The anonymous user who copied the database said that he wanted to have assurances that the deal struck by GGF would not be disappointing, and that if it didn't meet expectations, TPB could be up and running on another server within hours.Swedish Internet Cafe outfit GGF is trying to buy The Pirate Bay for £4.72 million, and is proposing a new business model for the formerly freebooting service whereby copyright owners would be reimbursed for downloads, paid for by monthly subscriptions.The four original owners of the torrent tracker were convicted in a Swedish court of breaking copyright laws, so they probably need the cash to pay their legal bills.Copyright cops have complained that the new model would not be enough to satisfy entertainment industry insiders as it placed the onus on them to request the removal of torrent links to copyrighted material.The database has since been uploaded, but the search function is currently disa[/quotebled due to bandwidth problems. µ
http://torrentfreak.com/25-great-pirate-bay-alternatives-090822/Full Pirate Bay AlternativesThe only full Pirate Bay alternatives are sites that index torrent files, are open to everyone and also have a working tracker. Unfortunately, there are only a few sites out there that offer this full package -there are four of them below. We decided to include Demonoid here because it tracks many public torrents.1. Torrentbox2. 1337x3. H33t4. Demonoid (semi-private)Torrent IndexersTorrent indexers are sites that have a searchable directory of torrent files, but don’t host a (public) tracker of their own. Mininova has a tracker, but they only allow ‘featured’ torrents uploaded through their content distribution service. The most used torrent indexers are:5. Mininova6. isoHunt7. Torrentreactor8. BTjunkieTorrent Meta-Seach EnginesBitTorrent meta-search engines are yet another brand of torrent sites. They don’t have a tracker and don’t host any torrent files on their servers. Instead they search for and link to torrents hosted on third party sites.9. Torrentz10. Nowtorrents11. Qtorrents12. Torrent-FinderPrivate Trackers (open signup)Most of the larger private trackers require an invite to join, but there are always a few that allow new members. Below are four of these (open) private trackers and more can be found on Btracs.13. RTN14. BiteMyTorrent15. BitShock16. TorrentItStandalone BitTorrent TrackersTorrent indexers and meta-search engines can be used to find torrents, but none of them will be of much use without a stable BitTorrent tracker. Standalone BitTorrent trackers are much needed, they handle the communication between downloaders but don’t index any torrents themselves.17. OpenBitTorrent18. PublicBitTorrent19. The Hidden Tracker20. Denis.StalkerDIY Pirate Bay AlternativesThe last category of Pirate Bay alternatives are the do-it-yourself projects. By using the three ingredients below The Pirate Bay can be easily rebuilt. It might take a few hours, but then the path to world domination is clear.21. Pirate Bay Torrents Clone22. Pirate Bay HTML Clone23. Torrage: Torrent API24. Tracker SoftwareLast but not LeastGoogle, the mother of all search engines has a filetype:torrent search command that allows you to find torrent files scattered across the Internet. Also, Google’s custom search allows everyone to create their own torrent search engine. Don’t tell the MPAA and RIAA.25. Google
you know, i was lookin for somethin like this yesterday.... actually gone to torrentfreak to see if they had anything, but got distracted lolchakra for you!
Pirate Bay has a bunker mentalityNuke this RIAABy Nick FarrellWednesday, 7 October 2009, 11:08P2P SEARCH WEBSITE Pirate Bay has moved its operations to a former Cold War bunker in The Netherlands.According to Torrent Freak, the idea is that the music and film industries will have a devil of a job killing off the filesharing tracker if it is literally underground.Pirate Bay executives who are currently appealing jail sentences and stiff fines in the Swedish Courts must be hoping that the bunker is a symbol of defence. However it could also be taken as a symbol of being surrounded by rival armies, playing with a handgun and cyanide pills with your girlfriend.The CyberBunker is a Dutch ISP that can provide Pirate Bay with a facility that can resist a nuclear attack as well as electromagnetic pulse bombs.The facility was built by NATO in the 1950s to survive a nuclear war, but after the nuclear threat diminished it was sold to its current owners. The bunker is now used as a webhosting data centre.The bunker is equipped with Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) shielding and Nuclear/Biological/Chemical (NBC) air filtration to guarantee that the servers it hosts stay up no matter what happens.We are not sure if this would protect against court orders, as they have a habit of seeping through the cracks and destroying things when nuclear missiles can't. µ
