On Pirate Bay - 10 millionth torrent!
The largest torrent tracker on the Internet The Pirate Bay (TPB) has overcome another historical milestone. Last year, the Bay celebrated 10 years of work , and now it is a reason to celebrate the 10 millionth torrent: thepiratebay.se/torrent/10000000/.
Given all the legal problems, blockages and prosecutions in different countries, the continuation of the project can be called a significant achievement, almost a feat.
The honor of the 10 millionth anniversary hero got an episode of a little-known TV series called IntimateLesbians, the author of the distribution is the VIP member under the nickname Drarbg.

TPB developers admitted that the approximation of the 10-millionth distribution was a surprise for them. I had to urgently make the necessary patches in the backend in order for the system to work normally with eight-digit identifiers.
Of course, out of 10 million torrents on the site, not all are now available, and many have long been deleted. Developers say that at the moment in the database about 3.05 million torrents. The main reason for the removal - fake torrents. Many of them deliberately fill the site with representatives of copyright holders, law enforcement and fraudsters, pursuing their own goals. For example, sometimes the distribution includes malware. Rights holders are trying to litter the base to prevent the distribution of content. A group of moderators works on the tracker, which tries to quickly identify such incidents and remove the distribution.
Every day, about 10,000 new torrents are uploaded to Pirate Bay. A veteran site does not lose in popularity at all, rather the opposite. The next 20 millionth anniversary will probably happen in a year or two.
