Trouble continues for popular torrent site TorrentGalaxy. The site, which is seen as a notorious piracy market by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, has been unreachable for days. While some believe that the end has come for the site, technical troubles certainly can't be ruled out.

The site is also important as a key content supplier to other torrent sites though its upload bots. Interestingly, those bots are still operational, unlike during previous downtime periods.

This tells me it’s likely a temporary technical issue

Hopefully 🥺

Whoever the original owners sold the site to are running it into the ground. The public tracker scene is really in dire straits

Honestly it’s working fine for me. I torrent shows and movies and I switch between TGX 1337X and TPB, based on offering and I can always find what I need, and download it in a reasonable time.

I’m trying to work on seeding better though, I can’t manage to crack that 0.8 ratio yet.
