    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.

    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.

      Has any pirate site ever been trustworthy? And if you run pirated software, you get what you get. Roll the dice or wait for a Steam sale.

        wait for a Steam sale.

        Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

        Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

        Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.

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

      l337x sometimes does strange things too, like cause an odd file to start downloading instead of loading the main page.

        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.
