Over a year ago, The Pirate Bay had shut down its tracker and a Pirate Bay insider had then told that they are moving away from Torrent links and it seems it is going to happen now. Beginning today, The Pirate Bay will gradually stop serving torrent files over the next month and will make magnet links consistent all through the site, magnet links refer you to another location to download the actual file.The Pirate Bay says that the decision is based on magnet links taking far lower bandwidth, making it easier to use them through a proxy but it’ll also somewhat end their legal and copyright problems which has been troubling them over the years.
But the site will still be the destination for people looking for pirated music, video, software and more and the new steps taken are mostly to block authorities from shutting them down.
