Piratebay: last one standing
p2pnet.net News:- Piratebay.org, the last one standing of the Old Big Bittorrent sites, used to be the most stable and reliable. However, with all the attention on the few remaining Bittorrent sites have been getting lately, it seems it’s now having problems dealing with the traffic load.
Measurements I conducted show traffic increased significantly around the shutdown of most other Bittorrent sites.
Today, all eight Piratebay.org web servers where unreachable for a couple of hours.
Fortunately, they’re now operational again.
The graph shows the number of leechers and downloaders over several weeks and the increase in traffic after the fall of Suprnova and other big sites is clearly visable.
The graph also shows "0" seeders and leechers when the main website site experienced problems and the connecting line shows a gap. Note the wide gap between datapoints on the 7th Jan. The site is now online again and new people are coming in fast.
Here are the active files transfers for the leading Bittorrent sites for October, 2004.
- Suprnova.org 2,267,463 transfers
- Youceff.com 1,145,889 transfers
- Piratebay.org 749,133 transfers
- Lokitorrent.com 816,435 transfers

Way to go TPB, Im Behind U 100% . I too Go to Movies And Concerts & P2P in NOWAY Inhibits Me from Doing so.
In Fact, The Big Screen Experience Is 1 Dam Thing that Cannot be replaced By P2P.
Another Thing – What Next ? Are You Going to Stop Me From Giving My Next Door Neighbour -
A DVD of a Movie that I have Or Stop Him From Listening to Tunes that I downloaded from the Net ?
Face it – for every 1 that You Do Try to Inhibit – 1000 of Us Are Not Going to like it And were going to find
1001 different ways to do it all over again and Continue to share files,,wheter You like it or NOT.
There are MORE of US than there Are of You. (where did *Laffingly* Prez-Bush get his tunes on his Ipod anyway?)
