Pirate Bay Archive

Karel Bilek, prepared for a worse case scenario where Pirate Bay may be closed down forever, compiled the almost two million magnet links that make up the website. Stored in XML-format, the compressed file is only 75mb in size and makes it possible to recreate The Pirate Bay if necessary. It took him half a year to download the information, using a script he has made available on github, because Pirate Bay repeatedly blocked him for acting like an "evil attacker or something".

Randomizer

This script randomly displays (and links to) a torrent from the archive. It gives a visitor access to a huge amount of links, but without an index or search function, it is quite useless. The green or pink background refers to the skulls displayed on Pirate Bay that show you a download is trusted or vip.
