Where to find a working dump file

Open DerBunteBall opened this issue 5 years ago • 10 comments

Hey all,

just a short question. Where can I find a working dump file?

I tried my best but I can't find one.

Best Regards

@DerBunteBall They used to list it on their site. Here is an I2P torrent dump: http://tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?view=TorrentDetail&id=54355 ( magnet:?xt=urn:btih:88ad7735b65cab8fb37a148b5400388c5054128f&dn=ThePirateBay.org+Historical+Basic+Torrent+Data+Dumps+%282004-2019%29&tr=http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php )

This magnet link will not work unless you are using BiglyBT or i2psnark. This data dump is for 2004-2019.

You can either:

  1. Get the full dump from the web archive(from end of 2019):
wget https://web.archive.org/web/20190924160713/https://thepiratebay.org/static/dump/csv/torrent_dump_full.csv.gz
  1. Alternatively, use torrentparadise's dump: https://mega.nz/file/ddESlChb#3YBqfxG-a4...GXxY7W7xm4

What is the decryption key for the mega site?

How do I convert it to be able to load it into offlinebay for windows? Right now it says the headers are incorrect.

Thank You.

@justingoldberg Unfortunately, torrent registries don't provide dumps anymore. That's why I stopped working on this project. Keeping this issue open to avoid duplicates.

Also I don't think the current tpb is the real piratebay because I can't login, my uploads are gone, and the search results are very limited compared to what I recall from years ago. Which is why I want to build my own local piratebay as well, even without the new torrents, as long as the old dumps are complete. Can you confirm if this project is complete up to 2019?

@justingoldberg Interesting that the crypto addresses haven't changed in a while. I don't see any reason for the current to be considered a fake. It's normal for sites to remove inactive accounts and long-dead things from indexes.
