Kickass Torrent takes over The Pirate Bay as it continues to face new problems.

The Pirate Bay users experienced difficulty logging in into their accounts over the weekend, and now, another problem has already arisen.  Uploading files into the website seems to be the problem this time. 

The popular file sharing website only started functioning again in February since it was raided in December last year, but server problems have kept on piling up over the weeks. Recently, those who tried to upload a file to the website were greeted with a "500 Internal Server Error" message. At the moment, The Pirate Bay contains no fresh uploads since the problems began. 

The Torrent Freak blog reported that there is no information why there is a problem in uploading files to the site, but it seems that the torrent hub possesses a misconfiguration or other technical error problems. This could be due to the its latest move to a different hosting company. 

For several years, The Pirate Bay was known as the best torrent site online, but the recent raid problems and blocking in several countries dropped the site to the number four spot. The most recent country to block their local ISP from accessing The Pirate Bay is Portugal, after the Association for Copyright Management, Producers, and Publishers complained that their members are affected by the services provided by file sharing websites like TPB. Based on the verdict of the Portuguese court, Internet service providers like Vodafone, MEO and NOS have to stop their users from frequenting the torrent site within 30 days. Failure to do so would mean that they have to pay the fine of 2,500 euros per day of access. 

Meanwhile, Kickass Torrents or KAT is enjoying the downfall of The Pirate Bay. Currently, KAT is recognized as the number one torrent site for the year. However, it might be having several problems of its own. The site had to stop operations for several days because of hosting issues.
