I honestly don't know where to post this so I'm doing it here.
TPB has been offline /unreachable for me for the last 2 days. Via my VPN I've tried accessing it from France, Greece, Japan, etc. Still no luck
If other people are still able to access it can you please tell me how?

It is working with TOR but it's not working all that great. The other day the site was very slow, infact I was wanting to post a reply to a comment that I was wanting to answer to somebody but it was virtually impossible. Better really when the HTTPS server is back running again.
Moe was suggesting to me before that when I post a torrent now I should post it in my Promotion thread and use a Magnet link so that people can download my stuff directly from Suprbay. I am planning to do this soon, with the fact that TPB site is very unreachable at the moment (So it's not just you that's been affected) the chances of using it normally are very slim.
Yes there might be some ability to use it with TOR it's a bit on and off but not really the best way to access right now. With a bit of patience and time the issues will be resolved and everything back to normal.

Ensure all tin foil is off your walls... And if that doesn't work it's down for most people.
But it'll probably be fixed soon, they're great at that.

While TOR is the best bet, occasionally the Tor server is also down. There are alternate Piratebay sites, and most I have seen are pure evil scummers. I havent looked at the .asia link above yet.
When using TorBrowser, the links are unclickable. Its degsigned that way. You can hack about:config to allow clicking (google: firefox magnet links) which works fine in Linux, but doesnt seem to want to work in Win. Try dragging the magnet link, or copy/pasting from COPY LINK SOURCE. Otherwise you will be copying the magnet image, and not the link.
An alternative is to use Tor as a proxy. Then you can use normal Firefox. However, I would just turn on the proxy to grab the links into your torrent program (I use qbittorrent, for example) and then exit Tor, and use the straight VPN for downloading from the links. Idea is that TOR isnt really designed to handle high speed data. I lock the connection to TAP/TUN in qbittorrent so that it cannot download anything without the VPN connection.
And have the browser dump the magnet link files to a dir where the torrent program automatically loads any torrent/magnet files.
So that loading and downloading file links are two different processes....
