To answer your question directly: No idea.

Of tangential importance to your question: Apparently TPB has been considered untrustworthy for a number of years, probably since it "returned" after the original crew behind it did a stint in Swedish prison. Infected torrents have been found there and the "skull" ratings mean very little.

I admittedly dont do a ton of sailing, but yeah I feel like avoiding TPB has been recommended for at least a decade now

1337x, torrentgalaxy, nyaa(anime), rutracker(music) and btdig(everything) should cover all your needs.

didn't torrentgalaxy die due to lack of funding?

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Torrentgalaxy.one seems functional

[–] Sentry64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Huh, i thought it died because last time i tried accessing it. It was completely nonexistent (for some reason) and after, what? a few months or so? it disappeared from FMHY.

Infected torrents have been found there

*laughs in Linux*

Oh that’s adorable, you think you are untouchable. Please look into the XZ incident and get back to us.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, yeah. Only mostly untouchable.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The point is Linux lets you do things, even stupid things. It cuts both ways. The average user isn’t more secure there, the attacks are just different.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But 99% of the problems can be avoided if you just don't do stupid things.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Translation: Linux is secure if you don’t let stupid people use it.

It show me a cloudflare error, it seems down. But there are gazillion other torrent sites, my general goto is 1337x.

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

l337x sometimes does strange things too, like cause an odd file to start downloading instead of loading the main page.

[–] smitheee@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

This is only true for the .to version i believe. It's some cloudflare error. The .st version works like a charm

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Ok, what is your general, no registration torrent site? I used to use limetorrents as well, but I havent checked it for a while.

[–] exaybachae@startrek.website 7 points 1 month ago

I've seen warnings like that when a sites certs expire. Well maintained sites don't usually let that happen, but I've seen it plenty for torrent sites. It's usually fixed in a few hours or a day.

Like others said, it could also be the ISP, so you can try a VPN, even a free one would probably do, if that was the issue.

You can also try resetting cached data for that site specifically. How to do that is different per browser, search online for more info specific to your browser.

No https problems for me.

It might be your ISP trying to block it. I'm surprised they're not using HSTS to force HTTPS.
