When I go to this torrent:
http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/10466625/

or this one:
http://thepiratebay.ee/torrent/10466483/

and click on the download button I get a popup telling me to send a text message to get a password to a torrent file.
What is this and how does it work?

Its probably some sort of phising or a scam as thats not the real piratebay.

That's a scam site. There is only one pirate bay:

Thanks.
I thought that was the problem.
I just wanted to ask rather than accuse before I knew.

Quite possibly, seeing as you've submitted your phone number to them.

best case scenario: spam txts

worst case scenario: you get charged for the txts
