LEARNING ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PIRATE BAY WEBSITE

The Pirate Bay website is one that feels like it has been around for centuries,
yet it’s still a mystery. The Pirate Bay site is a torrent site that lets people
stream movies and tv shows, play games, and read books and other reading
material for free. People head to Pirate Bay to watch movies that are currently
in theaters, or download books for their classes. The site has a variety of
products for everyone.

What’s really interesting about Pirate Bay is that it has existed since 2003.
Its creators, Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrick Neij, and Peter Sunde poured their
time and energy into the Swedish torrent site. They also went to jail for
varying times because of their involvement in copy infringement. Regardless, the
site has still managed to persist.

Nowadays, it’s much easier to use Pirate Bay because it has magnet links instead
of torrents. This basically means that people can download straight from the
site, instead of installing a torrent conversion application.

The website is one that has posed a threat in many countries. In fact, 20
different countries have banned the torrent site. They do not wish to get their
citizens in trouble, nor do they want their content being stolen. Many people
have trouble to stop Pirate Bay. Thirteen years later, however, it’s still one
of the most popular sites for free content streaming. That likely won’t change
for a long, long time.

HOW TO ACCESS THE PIRATE BAY

The Pirate Bay is currently blocked in many countries due to its facilitation of
illegal downloading of copyrighted material. As such, accessing it may not be
possible from your location. If you are unable to access The Pirate Bay
directly, you can try using a proxy or VPN service to bypass the block. A proxy
or VPN will route your internet connection through a different server, allowing
you to access The Pirate Bay as if you were located in a different country. Keep
in mind, however, that using a proxy or VPN to access The Pirate Bay may still
be illegal in your country, and can result in fines or other legal consequences.
It is always best to check your local laws before using a proxy or VPN to access
The Pirate Bay or any other website.


HOW DO I SEARCH FOR AUDIO FILES

If you are interested in audio files only, follow these easy steps, and your
search will be faster and more efficient:

Step 1: select the “Audio” option of the search engine available on the Pirate
Bay’s page. Thus, you will limit your search to files of audio type only. Type
in a keyword related to your search. For example, if you are looking for songs
of the musical group Spice Girls, simple key in “spice girls”, and then click on
the “Pirate Search” button. You will be sent to a screen showing a list of files
related to this group.

Step 2: you will notice that all torrents showed on the list are of “Audio”
type. This is due to the filter that you used in the previous step. Select the
torrent that you want. Consider that there may be more than one torrent
containing the material that you are looking for. Choose one with a sizable
amount of seeders and leechers. In this way, you can be more confident that the
file doesn’t contain any unwanted material, and that the download is faster.

Step 3: once you reach the page of the selected torrent, read all comments and
info available. This is very important, as previous users may have expressed
doubts or positive things about this torrent. Never think that you are too
precautious, as the danger of downloading something infected on the Internet is
high.

Also take a look at other relevant information, such as file format and
description of content, as many users leave good descriptions of the files they
uploaded.

Step 4: if you think that you can continue with the process, click on the “GET
THIS TORRENT” link. You will see a message asking you to choose a torrent app.
Select one and continue with the process. Once you have the file on your
computer, it is a good measure to check it, as sometimes the sound may appear
broken or of low quality.

HOW DO I SEARCH FOR VIDEO FILES

Searching for videos is straightforward, just do the following steps and your
search will be more accurate:

Step 1: insert a keyword(s) that describes your video on the search input. For
example, if you are looking for a movie or video with the famous character
Shrek, just type “Shrek”. Choose the option “Video” and press the “Pirate
Search” or the “I’m Feeling Lucky” buttons, and you will be prompted to a screen
containing a list of videos related to the character Shrek. The option “Video”
will filter your search and present you only with video type torrents. In this
manner, you avoid other sources, such as e-books, which could also be related to
the Shrek word.

Step 2: select the video that interests you. For example, you could choose
“Shrek Forever After” released in 2010. Notice that you may find several
torrents for the same video. In order to choose which one to select, consider
factors such as number of seeders and leechers, video size and who uploaded it.
Remember, if you don’t like your selection, you can always return to the list
and select another one.

Step 3: once you are on the page for the selected torrent, read the comments.
This is important as they may contain information about the quality of the
video. It may also tell you if the file contains ads or even worst, it is
infected with malware. Press the “GET THIS TORRENT” link. You will then be asked
to choose a torrent app.

Step 4: select your torrent app and continue with your download. Once finished,
try to be kind to other downloaders, and be a seed for a while. In this manner,
you will help other people in the same manner that others helped you obtain your
video.


HOW DO I SEARCH FOR APPLICATIONS

The PirateBay has always been a good source of software apps. Usually people
looking for old versions of specific apps struggle to find them. The Pirate Bay
has proven to be a great tool in such type of situations.

more.



If you find yourself in a similar situation, and want to use the PirateBay to
find an application, follow these steps:

Step 1: on the main page, type on the Pirate Bay’s search option the name of the
app you are looking for. For example enter “3D Studio Max”. Select the option
“Applications”. In this manner, the PirateBay will filter for those torrents
classified as applications. Then click on the “Pirate Search” or on the “I’m
Feeling Lucky” button. You will be presented with a list of torrents related to
your search.

Step 2: go through the list until you find the application that you are looking
for. The Pirate Bay search engine is not super intelligent, and some users don’t
use very specific words when they upload an app, so you may find unrelated
material. However, if you check on the “Type” column you will notice that all
are classified as “Applications”.

Step 3: select the torrent that you are interested in, and you will be prompted
to a screen showing the details of this resource. Click on “GET THIS TORRENT”
and continue your download with a torrent application.


HOW TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING ON PIRATE BAY

To download something from Pirate Bay, you will need to visit the Pirate Bay
website and search for the file you want to download. When you find the file you
want, look for the “Get this torrent” button and click on it to download the
.torrent file. Next, open the .torrent file with a BitTorrent client, such as
uTorrent or BitTorrent, and it will connect to the network and begin downloading
the file.


HOW DO I SEARCH FOR MY FAVORITE GAMES

The PirateBay has a good supply of games for those game lovers, and searching
for the correct torrent is not difficult. However, it may require a bit of
patience, as the result list can be quite extensive. If either you are
interested in a specific game, or you just want to explore what you can find in
the PirateBay, follow these steps, and your search will be successful:

Step 1: key in one or more words that describe your game on the search section
of the Pirate Bay’s page. However, notice that the PirateBay’s search engine is
not so powerful, and thus sometimes including many words can be
counterproductive. It is usually better to include no more than three words, and
then scan through a list until you find your game.

Step 2: select the “Games” option. This will tell the search engine to only
consider those torrents which have been classified as games by their uploaders.

Step 3: click on the “Pirate Search” button. You will then see a list of
results. Each item on this list contains a title, and a summary of the torrent
main characteristics, such as size, upload date and the username of the
uploader. You will find included the amount of seeders and leechers.

Remember, that the Pirate Bay works as a peer-to-peer technology. Thus, these
two numbers are very important, as the larger they are, the higher the
probabilities that your downloaded file will be free of malicious content, and
that your search will be faster. Also avoid those with a zero amount of seeders,
as it means that no one is volunteering to share the file.

Step 4: select the file that you want by clicking on its name. You will then see
a page containing information about the game. Some uploaders leave quite
complete descriptions of their files, others not. Read carefully as you may find
that the file requires some special conditions to function. Also read the
comments, as they may be indicators of the quality of the game.

Step 5: once you have decided that it is the game that you are interested in,
click on the “GET THIS TORRENT” link. You will see a message asking to select a
client torrent app. Do it, and proceed to download it via the chosen app.


THE PIRATE BAY GUIDE

Since the launch of uTorrent and other global BitTorrent download platforms,
movie enthusiasts have been flocking torrent and magnetic link download sites to
get the torrents for their favorite televisions shows and movies for free
downloads. Among the sites is Pirate Bay, a file sharing and torrent site that
allows users to search, find and upload their movie torrents and large file
torrents. Of the various file torrent and magnetic link providers available, the
Private Bay is the mostly used site- boasting millions of downloads and users
globally.


The only legitimate version of pirate-bay-proxy.org. Check out recently added
content.




SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS PIRATE BAY?

Founded by a Swedish anti-copyright- the Bureau of Piracy- in 2003, the Pirate
Bay is a site that uses Bit Torrent protocol to allow users to access and
contribute torrent files and magnetic links for large file sharing and
electronic games. It tracks files that can easily be downloaded using the
BitTorrent Protocol- a standard that is globally accepted for peer to peer (P2P)
file sharing. In this protocol, the files are sent in the form of torrents.


WHAT ARE TORRENTS?

A torrent is basically your typical file- be it a movie, electronic game or
sound track- that is sent through the BitTorrent Protocol. When downloading the
torrents, the Protocol allocates numerous client servers to download multiple
bits of information from the file- which in turn are arranged as the download
proceeds to result to a complete file download at the download completion.


HOW DOES PRIVATE BAY WORK?

The Private Bay, just like other present BitTorrent sites in the market, works
in the principle of torrenting; whereby the users do not obtain the files from
one main server, rather from multiple peers present all over the site.


Click and access TPB proxy. Ransomware-check passed.



Therefore, when you search for any file in the site, the client server looks for
peers with your requested file to bring about a connection to enable the item
download. In torrenting however, the file simply doesn’t download as a whole,
rather the file is downloaded in bits called packets to be re-organized as the
file steadily downloads.

These peers possessing the entire requested file are the seeders, while leechers
are those peers who contain bits of the required file. Due to this mechanism of
breaking down data large files into small downloadable packets, the BitTorrent
protocol hence makes every peer essentially a client server. This mechanism
however, comes at a cost. You are henceforth required to keep uploading as you
download to ensure that you strike the balance required for the ‘give and take’
mechanism.

UPLOAD TO DOWNLOAD RATIO

You might be wondering how you are going to ensure how you balance upload and
download rates, right?

Well, the answer is quite easy. All you have to do is simply keep your
downloading platform software open, even after you have finished downloading
your files, to ensure other peers can access your downloaded files. In this way
you will easily maintain a healthy download to upload ratio to ensure you can
easily download files anytime you request for more files from the site.

Due to the fact that PrivateBay allows remote peer to peer file transfer, the
site has lately been under intense scrutiny; to even being labeled as a site
notoriously known for promoting piracy of content.


HOW TO USE PIRATE BAY

As stated above, the Pirate Bay is just but one of the many BitTorrent protocol
file sharing sites out there. To use the site, you do not need to create an
account on the site or have a log in password to enjoy the services offered by
the site. Below is a series of easy and simple steps to conveniently enjoy free
movie and electronic game downloads:


STEP 1. ACCESS THE SITE

As simple as it sounds, the first step simply entails visiting the site. Since
the site keeps changing its addresses, simply search for ‘the pirate bay’ on
Google to obtain search results for the site.


STEP 2. SEARCH

On the main page, there is the pirate search box whereby you can easily search
the site’s collection for your preferred download. Alternatively there is the
“I’m feeling lucky” button that lets you search in a manner resembling the
Google search engine.


STEP 3. DOWNLOAD THE TORRENT

After searching, the site will look for peers with the file that you need, then
avail it for you. The file will comprise of a.torrent extension, which is a text
document that points to the exact file that you need. Download this file and
make sure you do not move it to a different location so as to enable the client
to find it easily for you to proceed with your download.


STEP 4. OPEN THE DOWNLOADED FILE

This step involves opening of the downloaded file, which in turn prompts a
request to open the platform that you used to download the file. This platform
maybe uTorrent, Bitlord or any other of your favorite sites. The client server
then checks for peers with the exact file you are looking for and packets will
start downloading from these identified peers. The client server, during the
downloading process, puts these packets together as they download to eventually
download as a fully playable file.


STEP 5. CHECK THE LEECHERS AND SEEDERS

For a fast and uninterrupted download, always check for the number of seeders
and leechers for your requested file. Seeders refer to the peers who already
have the file while leechers refer to peers who are downloading the file during
that given time. For the best downloading experience, always opt for files with
more seeders and leechers since this tremendously increasing the speeds at which
your file downloads.


STEP 6. CHECK ON YOUR DOWNLOAD PER SHARING RATE

Finally, after making your download, it’s always advisable to keep your
downloading platform software. This is because like most of the other BitTorrent
sites out there, the Pirate Bay also carefully tracks the amount of data you
download in relation to the amount of data that you send to other peers. Closing
your downloading application immediately after usage will henceforth
significantly reduce the downloading speeds of your next file. Well, we all know
how annoying it feels when a file you can’t wait to save takes way too long to
download.

In case you are still in confusion of how to download from the site, Private bay
has added another feature – the “How do I download” button- that offers newbie
visitors on information that can be used for a seamless navigation of the site.


WHAT IS TORRENT DOWNLOAD

Torrent download is a method of downloading files from the internet using a
peer-to-peer file-sharing network. This type of download differs from the
traditional method of downloading files from a single server, as it allows users
to download files from multiple sources at the same time. This can make the
download process faster, as it distributes the load across multiple computers
and can reduce the risk of the download being interrupted or failing. To
download files using torrents, users need a torrent client, such as uTorrent or
qBittorrent, which can download the files from the peer-to-peer network.


IS TORRENTING ILLEGAL?

Torrenting is simply a file management system that allows decentralization of
servers to multiple torrents. In this set up, every participant is either
uploading or downloading files, hence resulting to a peer to peer connection
whereby the file sharing system is dependent on the participant activities. For
this reason, when downloading torrents, always go for torrents with more seeders
(participants who have already downloaded the file) and less leechers
(participants who are downloading the file at the moment).


COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

Well, for most states, downloading a file isn’t illegal- right? For Private Bay,
however, the peer to peer connection allows for file sharing- a subject that has
made the site’s services a major source of discussion due to the prospect of
unauthorized file sharing. You see, be it intentionally or accidentally, the
site is eventually bound to have copyrighted material since anyone can easily
share their uploads and downloads to any peer accessing the site.

This simple fact has always kept the Private Bay on the edge, with numerous
music labels and film production firms filing law suits in regard to the
copyright infringement being undertaken by the site’s users. With estimations
depicting that over 200 billion dollars are lost annually due to piracy and
copyrighting of unauthorized files, Pirate Bay access has always been a major
subject of discussion. Due to the large pool of peers and users accessing the
site, the PirateBay is easily one of the sites contributing to these piracy
related losses.


POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCESSING THE PRIVATE BAY

POSSESSION OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

As a user of the site, you are bound to downloading a few files since anyway,
why else would you still be visiting the Pirate Bay site? Well, during your
downloading endeavors, you might come across copyrighted material; and
unknowingly download the file. Mind you, getting caught with copyrighted content
might attract hefty fines and punishment, depending on your state laws.

MALWARE AND INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT

As always, people are bound to abuse the fact that you can simply upload and
share files to your peers with ease using the Pirate Bay site. When downloading
anything from the site, always be on the look out to identify files that seem
fishy in a way. These files might contain malware that may be intended to alter
your computer functioning. You never know what these internet crooks may be
planning behind the concealment of their computer screens.


SAFETY MEASURES FOR RISK MITIGATION WHILE USING THE SITE

To be on the safe side, always strive to ensure that you get files from known
peers. This is a great way of ensuring you come across less copyrighted content
since chances of a well renowned peer having pirated material are quite slimmer
in comparison to those of a newbie peer. Additionally, avoid content with no
reviews about their quality to prevent access of files that may contain malware
or viruses in them.

On this regard to safety and copyright infringement claims, some states have
henceforth undertaken to banning the use of the Pirate Bay site in their
respective regions; with others opting to simply turn a blind eye.


COUNTRIES WHERE PIRATE BAY IS AVAILABLE

Well, due to the now obvious reasons of Copyright infringement and unauthorized
file sharing, the Pirate Bay access has always been a widely discussed debate
globally. However, most cases that have resulted to the banning of the access to
the PirateBay site rely mostly on law suits that were filed by the affected
gaming or movie production parties on copyright infringement matters. The fact
that formal complaints are yet to be made is quite a major reason why there are
no restrictions on Private Bay access in these countries.

So, here’s a list of some of the countries that do not mind Pirate Bay torrent
downloads:


SWITZERLAND

At Switzerland, the laws do not restrict access of the PrivateBay site, however-
there is a catch. The site’s users have to ensure that the material obtained
from the site’s torrents is for personal use only. Use of Private Bay content
for commercial use or any other form of file sharing might land you in trouble.
For Switzerland however, law suits regarding the Private Bay copyright
infringement and unwarranted file sharing are quite rare- making it one of the
best regions to readily enjoy the services offered by the site.


CANADA

Canada currently has earmarked a legal region whereby you can easily access the
Pirate Bay since at that specific zone, there are no laws restricting Internet
Service Providers from accessing the site. There are many Virtual Private
Networks offering fast access speeds to the Private Bay, though is not
essentially a blessing in disguise. Currently, it feels that it’s only a matter
of time before major entertainment labels start knocking for copyright violation
charges regarding the usage of the Private Bay site.


MEXICO

Mexico, as widely accepted, is notoriously well renowned for having unclear
laws, especially on matters regarding statutory concern. The laws governing the
usage of the Pirate Bay are no exception on this one. The fact that it’s quite
difficult to be finding yourself facing charges in a court of law due to the
access of the PirateBay site makes it a good location to access the sites peer
to peer services.


COSTA RICA

At Costa Rica there are really no strict laws banning the use of the Pirate Bay,
though the United States- due to their economic ties with the state- have
occasionally threatened to block Costa Rica’s domain name due to failure of
banning the Pirate Bay. Whether Private Bay will remain to stay long enough in
Costa Rica is still uncertain. As things stand currently however, Private Bay is
still functional in the state despite the US threats.


BRAZIL

For the Brazilian, restrictions on Private Bay access are essentially an unheard
of debate. Here, you can comfortably access your movie torrents and magnet links
for file downloads without having to worry about statutory authorities or any
law suits whatsoever. Similarly, Belarus and Hong Kong countries do not possess
regulations prohibiting the access of the Private Bay site.

more.



However, with many countries seemingly following a similar trend, it’s just a
matter of time before Private Bay access restrictions are imposed.


COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BANNED PIRATE BAY ACCESS

For most of the countries, it always boils down to assumption due to lack of
interest from affected parties or banning the site’s access completely since
it’s quite a no brainer that PirateBay’s free downloads do result in major
losses to entertainment film industries.

With that, it’s quite prudent to at least know whether your country has banned
Pirate Bay access. Below are a couple of countries that have blocked users:


IRELAND

Pirate bay access woes in Ireland started in 2009, when four well renowned music
record labels; Universal Music Group, Warner Bros, EMI and Sony took Eircom- the
largest internet provider in Ireland- to court on copyright claims. With the
major issue being obviously infringement of copyrights, Eircom eventually
yielded to banning the site’s access.


SWEDEN

The Swedish Pirate Bay Internet Service Provider had decided to move their
hosting location elsewhere after a previous court ruling to stop its services in
2010. However, it didn’t take long for the law to come knocking at their door
again since the focus was not on prohibiting the hosting of the Pirate Bay ISPs
in Sweden, but rather to completely avoid the risk of accessing the site
altogether. This time the Pirate Bay access was banned for good.


ITALY

Following the criminal charges in Sweden, the site was again under scrutiny;
this time in Italy, with the Italian Federation against Musical Piracy in Milan
requesting the banning of the site’s access and usage. Piratebay access is still
currently banned in Italy, though it can still be accessed through Domain Name
System (DNS) and specialized Internet Service Providers (ISPs).


NETHERLANDS

The decision whether to block ISPs in Netherlands from accessing Piratebay
content has been a back and forth one, with the judiciary allowing and blocking
the site’s usage severally over the years since 2005, when the first official
complaint was made. However, starting from 2018, the decision to block Pirate
Bay access was eventually given, meaning PirateBay access is henceforth blocked
in Netherlands.


NORWAY

As of 2015, Altibox and Telenor- two of the largest internet service providers
in Norway, blocked their users from accessing Pirate Bay material. Again, Warner
Bros took major role in ensuring this by filing law suits to ban access of the
Pirate Bay material due to copyrighting and unauthorized file sharing. Up to
this date, the decision to block Pirate Bay is still yet to be uplifted- though
users still find ways of accessing the site by bypassing the various imposed
firewalls.


SINGAPORE

Despite previous attempts in 2014 to amend the Copyright Infringement Act so
that it could include the inclusion of the blocking of the Pirate Bay access, it
took the intervention of a Supreme Court in 2016 to eventually instruct all ISPs
allowing copyright infringement- including the Pirate Bay to cease operations in
Singapore. Some of the other ISPs affected by this move include: Starhub,
SingTel and My Republic.


OTHER MENTIONS

A list of other countries to add to this list include: Belgium, China, Denmark,
Romania, Russia and the United Kingdom.


ACCESSING PIRATE BAY

With many countries gearing towards getting stricter on laws governing the
access and use of the Pirate bay, it’s safe to say using the site currently has
never been harder. You see, downloading from the Pirate Bay is free, leading to
the certain occurrence of unauthorized file sharing by the site’s users- an act
highly considered as copyright violation. While accessing the Private Bay, there
are a few considerations to keep in mind.

FIRSTLY, YOU HAVE TO ENSURE YOUR IP ADDRESS IS SECURE

Be it whether your state prohibits or allows the Private Bay access, accessing
the site without securing your IP address is highly discouraged. For a user
residing in a country that has banned PrivateBay access, you risk facing legal
action. For a user residing in a state that doesn’t mind PrivateBay access, you
risk threats of malicious attacks and cyber-crimes.

SECONDLY, ENSURE YOUR SAFETY

The PirateBay isn’t necessarily safe since there are a few potential dangers
such as the prospect of malicious cyber-attacks. The peer to peer connection
used in the site exposes you to cyber criminals since it enables them to easily
gain access to your connection and confiscate you in the process.

To ensure that you access the Private Bay securely, there are two major ways to
go about it:

 * Access via TOR
 * VPN access


TOR ACCESS

Accessing the site via TOR basically means using the TOR browser to access the
PrivateBay site. All you have to do is simply download the TOR Browser app and
use it to access the PrivateBay since it promises the concealment of your IP
address as you visit the site. However, the TOR options has been losing
popularity lately since its prone to leaking information to Google as you
browse.

For a more reliable and secure option, VPN access is the way to go.


VPN ACCESS

You might be wondering; my state doesn’t allow Pirate Bay access- so, what now?
Well, being currently the most globally used site for obtaining and downloading
movie and gaming torrents, the Pirate Bay doesn’t seem to relent a bit. By use
of Virtual Private Network, Private Bay enthusiasts can still enjoy the services
of the site. The PirateBay administrators, despite the relentless efforts by
various state governments to ban them, still manage to keep the site running and
accessible globally by use of the VPNs. However even for regions whereby the
Pirate Bay access isn’t blocked, the safest and most secure way of accessing the
site is via VPN.

WHY SHOULD YOU USE VPN CONNECTION?

Even if Private Bay is still available in your country, a VPN connection is
quite mandatory when using the site. This is simply due to the fact that peer to
peer connection is not entirely secure, since it allows other uses to be in a
position to access your connection. This may in turn expose you to all sorts of
malicious cyber attacks such as hacking and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Again, currently due to governmental authorities tracking them, you might be
redirected severally as an aim to prevent their location from being exposed- a
factor that may lead you to malicious sites planning on exploiting such
situations.


THE BEST VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPNS) TO USE FOR THEPIRATEBAY ACCESS

Well, as we all know now, access to the Pirate Bay is more of illegal than legal
per say. Basically, this means third parties- especially governmental
authorities, can track your IP address and fish you out for using a rather
blocked site to face legal action. Again, the simple fact that the site uses
peer 2 peer connection, makes it quite prudent to use VPN connections to access
the site.

Which are some of the best VPNs to use for the Pirate Bay access?


THE NORDVPN

One of the major reasons the NordVPN makes it to the top of the list is simply
the fact that The Pirate Bay recommends the network, as easily viewed from their
homepage. Having been in the run for so long, with even the most elite security
agencies being constantly on their tail, you have to admit that their choices
have to be quite informed.

WHAT ARE THE PERKS OF USING NORDVPN?

SECURITY

Why else would The Pirate Bay recommend the NordVPN if not for the tight and
advanced security options offered? This VPN connection offers a 256-bit
encryption and even possesses a kill switch that can be activated by following a
certain set process. What’s more? As an addition to the numerous security
advantages, this NordVPN also protects your connection from Port forwarding and
DNS malicious attacks.

HIGH SPEEDS

Despite the fact that its possession of quite a larger number of servers could
result to some decline in the internet speeds, the NordVPN connections are quite
fast.

FLEXIBILITY

The NordVPN allows for up to 6 simultaneous connections, possessing over 5200
servers across over 62 countries globally. Moreover, the VPN allows for
automatic blockage of ads and simultaneous use of double VPNs.

COMPATIBILITY

Again, the NordVPN can is compatible to a wide variety of platforms- that is;
Windows, MacOS, Linux, IOS and Android.


EXPRESSVPN

With more than 2000 servers across 94 countries, the ExpressVPN allows users to
register anonymously by use of a disposable email address and Bit coin. However,
none of this information can be used to track your IP address. In fact, the
ExpressVPN really has a keen eye for privacy and security. It comes with a
256-bit encryption for protection of the network traffic and also offers iPv6
leak and DNS leak protection.

All in all, the ExpressVPN really stands out from the rest since it’s more of a
privacy-focused VPN. Another worthy mention is that it offers 24/7 customer
support- meaning all you have to do is facetime their customer care in case you
encounter any issues while using the ExpressVPN.


CYBERGHOST

Still unsure with the VPNs outlined above? Well, the CyberGhost might be the one
for you. The CyberGhost boasts over 5700 servers across 90 countries, offering
high speeds and customer friendly services globally. With CyberGhost, you are
allowed up to 7 simultaneous connections, making it quite unique compared to
other VPN connections.

What makes the CyberGhost great for downloading torrents is the fact that its
kill-switch is always on, thus guaranteeing protection every time you are on the
internet browsing.


THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR WHILE ACCESSING THEPIRATEBAY SITE

As widely accepted, the PrivateBay access isn’t entirely secure. Additionally,
there are few features to check out to ensure you reap the most from this site.


SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR AS A PRIVATEBAY USER?

WATCH OUT FOR THE STUFF YOU DOWNLOAD

Even though the PrivateBay does include mechanisms to ensure that the content
being shared is spam-free and appropriate, people are always bound to post
something malicious. Such content may include viruses or even inappropriate
content other than the one requested. To be on the safe side, always keep in
mind that you never know exactly what you are downloading.

WATCH OUT FOR THE REDIRECTS

To prevent their location from being identified by the numerous legal
authorities looking to put them behind bars for encouraging copyright
violations, the PirateBay admins have imposed several website redirects.

However, these redirects may turn out to be a problem for the user. First of
all, no one really loves going through a myriad of sites before finally reaching
the desired site for downloads- though this may be dismissed as just a small
price, considering you are downloading your content for free.

The main issue comes in on the security of these redirected sites. There is the
undeniable fact that these sites may be collecting your personal information by
using your IP address. Additionally, you face the dangers of malicious attacks
such as viruses and Denial of Service attacks in case you come across one of
these sites.

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR SAFETY

Ensuring that you are using a secure connection while using the Pirate bay
cannot be stressed enough. Well, not unless you want to find yourself getting a
warning or even suffering legal consequences.

USE A VPN CONNECTION

To counteract these potential dangers outlined above, using a VPN connection is
simply the answer. VPN connections will not only hide your IP address to ensure
that you can’t be tracked, but also protect your connection from malicious
attacks.

CHECK OUT THE TOP 100 LIST

You know of those moments when you’ve already downloaded all the movies and
shows in mind, or those previously recommended by your friends? Well, it’s time
to check out the top 100 list. The PrivateBay added this feature to keep you
updated on what is hot at the moment, so click on one of these to have a new
viewing experience. You never know what may come of it.

CHECK OUT THE RECENT LIST

Again, The PrivateBay seems to be really working hard to ensure you are
absolutely hooked to the site. With the recent list feature- you can easily view
the shows, movies and songs that have been recently added to the Private Bay
site. This way, the site keeps you updated on the newest content in the market.
As a movie, song or gaming enthusiast- you will definitely love this feature.

Generally, while using the Pirate Bay, always remember to view it as a risky
site- hence consequently take adequate measures to ensure your safety.


COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHY ARE COUNTRIES BLOCKING PIRATE BAY ACCESS?

While some countries globally tend to ignore the fact that Private Bay does
promote copyright violation in a way, others simply can’t help themselves on
this matter. Unauthorized file access and sharing, as well as money lost from
these hardworking actors due to the free file access all contribute to the
negative attention that the site has been gaining lately from legal authorities
globally. In countries such as the US for example, some of the site’s users have
found themselves in trouble after having to fight law suits against them for
copyright claims.


WHY SHOULD YOU USE VPN CONNECTION WHEN ACCESSING THEPRIVATEBAY?

Even if Private Bay is still available in your country, a VPN connection is
quite mandatory when using the site. This is simply due to the fact that peer to
peer connection is not entirely secure, since it allows other uses to be in a
position to access your connection. This may in turn leave you exposed to all
sorts of malicious cyber attacks such as hacking and Denial of Service (DoS)
attacks. Again, currently due to governmental authorities tracking them, you
might be redirected severally as an aim to prevent their location from being
exposed- a factor that may lead you to malicious sites planning on exploiting
such situations.


WHAT IS PRIVATEBAY AND HOW CAN I ACCESS IT?

ThePirateBay is a site that uses Bit Torrent protocol to allow users to access
and contribute torrent files and magnetic links for large file sharing and
electronic games. It tracks files that can easily be downloaded using the
BitTorrent Protocol- a standard that is globally accepted for peer to peer (P2P)
file sharing. Since the site keeps changing its addresses, simply search for
‘the pirate bay’ on Google to obtain search results for the site.


IS ACCESSING THE PRIVATEBAY ILLEGAL?

The matter of the legality of PrivateBay access is largely confused with that of
torrenting. Torrenting is 100% legal, while PrivateBay access is not entirely
allowed globally. Whether accessing The PrivateBay is legal or illegal heavily
depends on your country’s laws. Some countries have banned access to the
PrivateBay, while others do not forbid their citizens from accessing the site.

ARE THERE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACCESSING THE PRIVATEBAY?

While accessing the PirateBay free download services, there are indeed potential
risks to your safety and identity. Some of these risks even attract a potential
legal penalty. Here are the two major ones:

POSSESSION OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

You never know the nature of content you are downloading from peers while using
the PirateBay site. Some of these material may be user generated content while
some may have violated copyright infringement laws stipulated for the specific
files. Getting caught with copyrighted content might attract hefty fines and
punishment, depending on your state laws.

MALWARE INFESTED FILES

Since the PrivateBay site does not possess absolute control of the content, you
might come across content that may contain malicious viruses. These files might
contain malware that may be intended to alter your computer functioning.


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PIRATE BAY

So, here’s some bit of information that we think might be relevant to you in
relation to the PrivateBay site.


THE PIRATEBAY IS OF SWEDISH ORIGIN

Named after PiratByran, a Swedish anti-copyright organization, the PirateBay was
created by Swedish developers in 2001. Since then, the PirateBay has expanded
globally, boasting thousands of servers and tons of content. However, their
success- which lies entirely on the fact that their movie, song and electronic
game downloads are absolutely free- eventually attracted lots of negative
interest from state authorities.


THE SWEDISH PRIVATEBAY DEVELOPERS WERE ACTUALLY CONVICTED

After taking the Swedish for a wild goes chase for quite a long time, the
original Private Bay developers were actually caught and convicted on charges of
propagating copyright infringement crimes. Nevertheless, the site is still up
and running, with new admins vowing to keep the site online regardless of being
notoriously on the legal authorities’ radar.


THE PIRATE BAY ACCEPTS DONATIONS

Well, after years of playing ‘cat and mouse’ with almost all statutory legal
authorities globally, you except these Pirate Bay nerds to be running low on
cash, right? Apparently, this is not the major reason Pirate Bay accepts
donations. In fact, you might have used the site for years and not even know
about this donation feature since they are quite relaxed about it.


Click and access The Pirate Bay. Still working!



However, after enjoying years of free movie and song downloads, you might as
well spare some little change to give the site’s developers as a token of
appreciation. The donations can be made to various wallet addresses displayed at
the bottom of the screen every time you access the Pirate Bay in search of
content.


THE SITE IS ENTIRELY CLOUD BASED

It only makes too much sense to ensure that you do not possess any hardware or
offices while working on the run- a concept that the PirateBay administrators
have exercised to the fullest. This cloud based architecture is actually one of
the major reasons why the PrivateBay has continued to exist, despite being
banned and receiving numerous warnings by several states across the globe.

Cloud based servers enable the administrators to easily hide their identities,
hence safeguarding them from being reprimanded by anti-copyright infringement
authorities. To ensure they stay hidden, the site’s administrators have no
tangible area or mode of operations, opting for rather cloud-based hosting
operation modules.


PIRATE BAY POSSESSES A SECURE SEARCH SYSTEM

Well, unlike other torrenting sites available out there, thePirateBay is among
the few- if any- that has a secure search system. Due to this, you can be sure
of your security and privacy every time you click on the search box to look for
a file on the site. Again, the search system is pretty fast, enabling you to
quickly gain results from your searches.

Perhaps, one of the main reasons that prompted the Pirate Bay to include this
feature is to ensure security of its users from the preying eyes of third
parties- especially legal anti-copyright infringement agencies that may be
tracking user IP addresses.

All in all, as it stands- the PrivateBay is here to stay- with users across the
globe still flocking the site to grab a few free movies and song copies.
