But now the main site seems to be bullet proof. There was a time where weekly there would be a new official link. I'm not sure what changed structurally with hosting tbp

I was just in Europe and used piratebay while I was there. The main site didn’t work, but searching “piratebay mirror” found one that did right away.
Here in Norway, ISPs are actually legally obligated to block access to The Pirate Bay. Mirrors work.
