p2pnet.net News:- Piratebay.org, the last one standing of the Old Big Bittorrent sites, used to be the most stable and reliable. However, with all the attention on the few remaining Bittorrent sites have been getting lately, it seems it's now having problems dealing with the traffic load.

Measurements I conducted show traffic increased significantly around the shutdown of most other Bittorrent sites.

Today, all eight Piratebay.org web servers where unreachable for a couple of hours.

Fortunately, they're now operational again.

The graph shows the number of leechers and downloaders over several weeks and the increase in traffic after the fall of Suprnova and other big sites is clearly visable.
