I've used Pirate Bay torrents for years from my seedbox. Starting about four days ago, no Pirate Bay torrents connect to seeds or peers. I load magnet links as usual, and the torrent statistics in rTorrent all look normal: big numbers of seeds and peers available, but zero ever get connected to. And the torrent name never even gets past the .meta code, which is weird. Status reads "Downloading," but days later, there's no change: no torrent name, no downloading, but lots of peers and seeds available. Meanwhile, I'm able to continue to download torrents from other torrent sites.
It's been days now. Any suggestions?
ADDED: I should add that I only ever browse for HD Movies. I do Browse Torrents, then click the "HD - Movies" link. It's that resulting list that has suddenly stopped providing connectable results. I've now tested other kinds of torrents, and they work fine. Just nothing from the category: 207.

"never even gets past the .meta code" make sure your client is directly connectable (forward those ports!)

I've been using this client for months with no problem. Is there anything that would suddenly make all the torrents listed via
Browse Torrents>HD - Movies unconnectable?

Can you post a link to the torrent(s) you are trying to download ?
I wondered if it was user:JRenatto. Some of the torrents from that user do not load for me too. Maybe he isn't seeding.
If it is a "YTS" torrent, you can get it from other sites too. Not sure what "YTS" website is now (yts.mx ?)
Try one of the other regulars like, user  otnikam.

Here's a link to a BrandonStrike torrent:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:B0F3A04EED3DE72DB0714ABB44FF6C85DA1396D5&dn=Framed.1947.1080p.BluRay.FLAC1.0.x264-ORBS&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bittor.pw%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fpublic.popcorn-tracker.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.dler.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3A6969%2Fannounce
Meanwhile, I tried a different BrandonStrike link in the same set of search hits, and it now works. I do see some JRenatto ones in the list of hits that I (probably) tried to use earlier. After this, I'll pay attention to which users' torrents they are and watch for a pattern.

OK. Framed 1947 is stuck for me too. Maybe he seeds only during certain hours.
If you need the movie, you can try the other torrents or place a request.

It's not a big deal. I just wanted to post the question because I left those torrents running for days, and they never connected. Meanwhile, their stats always showed lots of seeds and peers, but none ever got connected--for 3-4 days straight. Over the years, I'd never seen this behavior before. From now on, though, I'll pay attention to the user's name, and if the problem happens across multiple users, then I'll follow up here. If it's always one particular user, though, I'll just figure it's some unusual issue on their side.
