If i access TPB's .onion site it's available and i can do searches, however, there are always no search results whatsoever.
If i use the clearnet version, even via tor, then i get results....

Is anyone experiencing similar issues?

I'd avoid TPB. It used to be alright but it's gone way downhill after several takedowns. It's kind of the Wild West now. Sure you can find a few things not other places, but you're also way more likely to get a virus or something. The mega thread pinned in this community has good alternatives like 1337x

No .onion link, uses cloudflare and immediately tried to download some mpeg.
I'll check the other links though, thanks.

Edit there is an onion site.
Edit alas, links redirect through cloudflare to aliexpress... wtf?

You've got something messed up. I can hit it just fine. No redirect or download. No idea what you're doing.

I've seen it, too. No idea what's behind it, but it tries to download a .ts file.

Yeah, every time. Add /trending or something to the address. It’s only the homepage that triggers that stream.ts thing

Nope, not just them. Same goes for me, tried in different setups of mine.

Don't use TPB.

Why? Alternatives?

It's been a honeypot for decades. Use 1337x.

i think 1337x is really nice, but weren't they inflating seed numbers? or am i confusing it with something else?

Punishment on malware is not always guaranteed,

What does that mean?

I thought it was just using a bunch of public trackers.
