The Pirate Bay experienced another down time last Thursday, leaving BitTorrent users wondering what happened.

According to Torrent Freak, the piracy website has been down since Friday morning. There has been no exact news about the cause of the outage, except for displaying a CloudFlare error message on all its domain names. It's the second outage experienced by the site since the last one on Thursday, which lasted for a few hours.

An update made by Torrent Freak on its report said that The Pirate Bay team is aware of the problem, and they're hoping to get the site back online soon. The Pirate Bay team statement also added that it was nothing big and that people should just sit back and stay tuned in. The last update from the Torrent Freak report last Thursday said that the site is up and running again.

Meanwhile, a report by International Business Times urges the public not to trust the pirating site anymore. The report says that not only does the relaunched site carry ads containing malware, it also directs users to questionable torrent sites whenever it is offline.

The report also added that other users of the site have hinted on the possibility that the relaunched site is a decoy for law enforcement agencies to track down piracy. Although this is unverified, it cannot be further from the truth that the FBI or other agencies have done so in the past.

The Pirate Bay was taken down September of last year by the Swedish police following a raid that was done in Stockholm, based on a report by Torrent Freak.

After three years of serving time in prison for charges of copyright infringement and hacking, Gottfrid Svartholm, one of The Pirate Bay's three co-founders, was released last September. Another co-founder, Peter Sunde, was arrested after Svartholm was caught but was released earlier after serving time in Västervik prison. The last one of the founders to be arrested was Fredrik Neij, who was apprehended in Thailand in 2014, said a report by the Guardian.
