There have been many rumors surrounding The Pirate Bay (TPB) torrent site to the extent that one cannot be certain here the site is currently. However, the torrent-downloading site is still life and has a new strategy - streaming directly from users' browsers.
TPB is able to stream directly from browsers thanks to a new plug-in from Torrents Time, which uses the same technology as Popcorn Time's second version. In case you are interested, all you need to do is download the plug-in for Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome, and the moment you navigate to a specific Pirate Bay torrent, you will find the streaming option.
The plug-in is currently a free beta, although there are a number of the usual Pirate Bay caveats. Users should have enough seeders and peers since the quality is relative and, of course, totally illegal, in the event one decides to stream copyrighted content. As soon as the user gets the plug-in working, there are some features like casting support for Airplay, Chromecast, and a built-in VPN.
Torrents Time has pitched it as a valid business idea, complete with buzzwords.
The Torrents Times official website says, "By harnessing the incredible abilities of torrents, you can transform your website ... this will result in an immediate, natural drop in your bounce rate and will greatly improve SEO."
The website as well reveals that the new plug-in can be utilized by any site. There are high chances that Pirate Bay rival, Kick Ass Torrents, will eventually integrate the plug-in, according to Venture Beat.
While the plug-in is ad-free now, Torrents Time has promised that ad server integration is on the way very soon. The plug-in is another assurance to users that TPB is still up and running.
