The Pirate Bay is one of the largest and most popular torrent search engines. It's still having persistent legal problems. The tracker went down in November, but the site still serves torrents and magnet links. If a torrent is lost, it becomes impossible to connect to other computers distributing the shared files. Considering that there are links to TPB all over this wiki, this site is pretty dang important.
In case of Fire
To prevent damage to the Archive Team if The Pirate Bay ever goes down, we should include a Magnet Link next to every TPB link we have.
Archival Methods
We can simply scrape the magnet links, descriptions, and comments. The hard part would probably be keeping it all updated... (Maybe we could use a git repository, and pull as necessary?)
Magnet links are provided in the Pirate Bay Magnet Archive below, and descriptions and comments are in the siterip.
Archival Tools
- Magnet link Dumper: A perl script that dumps magnet links into a single text file. It was used to make the below magnet archive.
Backups
- The entire Pirate Bay Magnet Archive: Every magnet link on the Pirate Bay, all in a tiny little text file. No comments, though.
- Updated (February 2013) Listing
- Magnet Archive Viewer: Parsing text files can be a pain, so this program makes it easy to search and look at the magnet links.
- Siterip: This 3GB archive saves all the html pages from the Piratebay, including comments. No torrent files, as usual.
- IDs 3200000-7699999: Backup as of 2012-10-06. It includes all comments, filelists, and details in csv format.
- IDs 7700000-7999999: Backup as of 2013-01-09. It includes all comments, filelists, and details in csv format.
- Pirate Bay Git Repo: https://github.com/tpb-archive
