A famous torrent site announces that it is going offline overnight. Now completely inaccessible, the only explanation he leaves raises more questions than it provides answers.
It’s not good to be a illegal streaming or torrent site Right now. The rights holders, whether united in the form of an organization or each on their own, are in open war with them. The objective is simple: bring down pirate sites and ensure they don’t come back. A losing battle some would say, but it is clear that there are successes. The famous RARBG had to close its doors last summer, closely followed by CAKES, a collective of pirates among the most important in terms of series distribution.
Even YggTorrent, a French pirate site born from the ashes of T411, has gone into private mode to avoid the wrath of the law. No one is therefore safe from a sudden disappearance, especially since users will be the last to be informed. Many of them are wondering right now if this is the fate that has suffered one of the most popular torrent sites today: TorrentGalaxy. As we write these lines, going to the official address of the service displays a blank page on which is written a message as laconic as it is strange.
One of the most used torrent sites in the world closes its doors without explanation
We can read “TGX is offline. Updates will be posted in case of any changes“, which can be translated as “TGX is offline. Updates will be posted if there are any changes“. This doesn’t sound at all like a message about a site maintenance and therefore its unavailability for a few hours. The wording used here suggests that TorrentGalaxy may never come back onlinesince there will be explanations only “if there is change”.

Still, in the absence of additional information, we can only speculate as to what happened to TorrentGalaxy. It is possible that it is indeed a simple maintenance operation, but the announcement of which is very clumsy. On Reddit, an Internet user also posted a screenshot to this effect. This is a message that appeared on Telegram saying that the site will be back soon after maintenance. It would come from a channel linked to TGX and would therefore be official.
