It seems that The Pirate Bay is down, and possibly for a good while. To quote wikipedia, "On 24 August 2009, a Swedish court ordered the largest ISP to the Pirate Bay, Black Internet to shut the site down to which they complied. But after a brief break of 3 hours the DNS was relocated and the site came back online." The site did in fact come back online as I used it, but it has since gone back down. There are rumours that you will now have to pay to use the site, so it may be down to get fitted for that type of usage. Back to using isoHunt, Mininova and btjunkie!
EDIT: Good news! The Pirate Bay has been quoted saying they are "relocating their site to another ISP and are only suffering technical difficulties." Hopefully them Swedes will get it sorted out soon and fast.
