as some of you might know, the piratebay has been down since yesterday because of their trial that is going on in sweden

pirate bay is WAY over-rated. Demonoid and occasionaly PeerHub are all that you really need; much better quality controll on private trackers than public ones.

Regardless of how over-rated the Pirate Bay(Demonoid fan over here), it's still a pretty interesting situation.

Think of it like back in the late 90s/early 2000.. Napster was what everyone was talking about, but IRC, Kazaa, Usenet, etc.. were all around at the same time, and great sources of, well, anything.. But Napster got the media's attention, so it's the one that everyone and their grandparents heard about..

Same thing with Pirate Bay.. If it was the MiniNova creators (or Demonoid, or TorrentSpy, or PeerHug) that were on trial and Pirate Bay never made a headline, then everyone would be using MiniNova/whatever else instead of TPB.

It's got nothing to do with quality, just publicity.

On the other hand, you can say that some torrent sites are better than others.
In the case of some private/invite only torrent sites, like Demonoid and now defunct Ace Torrents, you can expect a certain level of quality, as well as safer downloads.

For example, the Poker Bay is invite only, and heavily moderates their site. You have to have a ratio of at least 1, and there's always at least 20seeders per file. Which is something that can't always been found from most torrent sites.

TPB was having technical problems. It had nothing to do with the court case (from what I've heard).

It's always possible they took the site offline as part of the case. Like, take the tracker offline to prove that the file sharing has nothing to do with them.. Since even without the tracker, the DHT allows torrent users to see the peers easily.
