I can see it, it shows a counter started at 2014-11-09 and an image aes.png with this: JyO7wNzc8xht47QKWohfDVj6Sc2qH+X5tBCT+uetocIJcjQnp/2f1ViEBR+ty0Cz

Argentine goverment blocked the domain at ISP level We can access thru a mirror [1] and I'm not seeing the video you talk.

[1] http://chupalacapif.com

translate "suck this capif" -- that's the argentine org which worked internally to get the domain blocked

To be more exact the translation really is "suck it capif"

Judging by the source code, the domain has been turned over to the operators of isohunt.to.

I wonder if they control the domain, or have just agreed to host content for PB while their servers are down?

Making a few dollars off it as well with the adcash link. Probably getting a lot of hits from curious individuals seeing if it's up.

According to the TF article Isohunt.to owners have denied a partnership with TPB and are just as clueless as us.

That adcash stuff is trying to get me to install fake versions of Java/other software. Be wary

Are you new to piracy/warez sites?

It is simply using a video from http://openbay.isohunt.to/, doesn't really mean it's the same people.

I can see it from Kenya.

What's over at thepiratebay.cr? Seems like new torrents are being added, works fine, and search is enabled.

AFAIK tpb.cr is a third party clone of TPB, and not affiliated with the original.

I think it is only accessible in US. Doesn't work in India.

Works from Europe. Probably just overloaded. First I got a time-out, then the countdown page and now I get a "502 bad gateway" error.

Any thoughts about the meaning of the AES code ? https://archive.today/mUs0P

here's some discussion around it. Apparently it's not an AES code itself, but rather a clue to the AES code[1]
