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.

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

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

Infected torrents have been found there

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.

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

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 day ago

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

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

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

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

No https problems for me.
