I'm going to hazard a guess in that this has something to do with it.

If not then it will just be them switching over to the distributed servers they talk about here

Maybe their new servers are all in the far east, so its a combination of the two?

PS. Mininova is as good as tpb

They were down before(last year?) and were back up and running days later. They'll be back up soon, really it's impossible to kill TBP.

I can't believe I missed that news. The Times only barely covered it and in general news sources in the US hardly or did not at all mention it. Seems a major thing to brush aside. As for Pirate Bay it's back up so no worries on that end.

Tell me it isn't so, people here downloading porn, cause I know no-one here would obtain questionable copies of software... :shock:
