i'm having the same issue. i read here https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-ThePira...aintenance that it has to do with eitehr banned IP or dynamic IP, and i'm wondering if it's related to the proxy being used. i'm currently using pirateproxy.club .. should i switch? (normal TPB is blocked here, i'm on Virgin)
also no reason why my IP would be banned. new connection, static IP, i dont post thrash.

i'm wondering if it's related to the proxy being used.

That we can be definite about: it definitely is NOT related to the proxy being used. If it was, then simply pressing F5 wouldn't solve the problem.

ok well, it's not a massive problem, as the search function works for me. it just seems that, once i put in 3 requests (1. browse category 2. request second page 3. request third page) the database shuts me out. If i wait, i can continue, and also, once i go into browse, i can browse later pages (1. browse category 2. request any-number-page, like "page 17" 3. request anything else). it's like i'm getting a mini-ban for flooding the server. maybe some anti-DDOS setting?

disclaimer - i might have no idea what i am saying.
