TPB's uploading 502 Gateway error

[Executive]

A suggestion to solve this problem :  Move the most vulnerable part of the TPB site ( the Upload section https://upl.thepiratebay.org(onion)  ) over to the Pirates-forum.org server, which never seems to be offline!

Can this be done ?

er then it will overload that server

The way I understand is that the traffic to thepiratebay.org is the one causing the overload.

Traffic to upl.thepiratebay.org is mostly from uploaders only and the load here is more stable.

And if this upl.thepiratebay.org is hosted separately from thepiratebay.org it will not be affected by the spikes on thepiratebay.org's traffic.

The new host will not necessarily be pirates-forum.org but another or a new one.

You forget all the spambots trying to upload and visit upl.thepiratebay.org.

I don't think this will make a huge difference, to be honest.

That spambots are not new to TPB.

When a site shuts down TPB will receive additional traffic from downloaders.

No significant change for uploaders' traffic as most of them are already uploading to TPB.

Also no significant change for spambots' traffic as most of them are already spamming TPB.

That's why I did not consider spambots to cause spikes when a site goes down.

The uploading 502 Gateway error is really a pain in the ass. I have to try at least 5 times before I am able to upload. Ditto with comments section.
