This trend is supposed to continue as internet consumption and penetration increases, especially in developing nations where bandwidth has traditionally been low making it difficult to download torrents. During the same time, a little later during April 2020, Pirate Bay’s traffic further surged as various countries had implemented lockdown due to COVID-19, and many users had been flocking to torrent sites to download the latest movies & other stuff. To do away with these downtimes, Pirate Bay moved moved on to a new infrastructure completing revamping the website in April 2020.
Our team is also working on improving the website’s technical stack, implementing caching, setting up multiple cloud servers & CDN servers to enable faster loading across the world, and reduce any downtime. The current growth in traffic is due to the fact that it didn’t face downtime this year, unlike the period between 2018 & 2019, when there was a prolonged period of downtime. However this year Pirate Bay was again the top torrent site with an Alexa Rank of 160. Although last year in 2019, it was ranked 3rd with YTS & 1337x ahead of it. The Pirate Bay (TPB) once again remains the most popular torrent site of 2020 in terms of traffic as per the latest data published by TorrentFreak.
