Fake af. It's trying to load scripts that arent safe and it's filled with ads that if you press on anything will open on a new tab. Just another person trying to get money out of people looking for kickass

Dis is correct. There are no official mirrors of KAT. Most of them are either downright malicious, trying to profit from our name, or just TPB clones/indexers with a KAT skin. As time goes on they will disappear and reappear, but none of them are real.Fake af.

As soon as we go live with torrents, you'll hear about it here the instant it happens. In the mean time, if you have to use a cloned KAT site, please be careful. Never try to login into one and since our team won't be there to watch for malware, be careful what you download.

I never had an account in the first place. I was looking for the DLC for the Sims 3 that I don't have cause Steam is dumb when it comes to how it handles pirated DLC. I own Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition on PC and was able to just zip file all the DLC and then upload for my friends to download and then told them how to install it and it worked fine and Steam couldn't tell the difference.

We're happy to officially announce that torrents will be coming back extremely soon. While we don't have an official date as of yet, they are coming.
In the mean time
We have a temp system in place for uploaders to post torrents on site, and have expanded the release section for releasers. Hash codes and Direct .Torrent file links are encouraged.

You might not be able to respond to this but some questions:
Will it use the same layout as the previous website or is it something new?
Will it have the same capacity as the other website or is it something new?
Will it have the same system for uploading, forums, profiles or is it something new?
Will it have any torrents that were back on kat or is it a fresh start? If it includes the torrents that were back before the website was shutdown are they a lot of torrents or just a small minority?
Most derp questions:
Security wise is it safer (in terms of finding the owner) than kat?
Do you plan on creating a legal torrent website or will it be like kat?

Excuse my curious otter butt but where the heck is the piratebay hosted? Back when they were on trial a few years ago I heard that they moved them to a political party's building or something like this where the authorities cant access it. Just curious >.>

Instead of buying their own hardware The Pirate Bay decided to serve its users from several cloud hosting providers scattered around the world also TPB is currently using CloudFlare’s CDN services which means that the hosting location is well hidden.

1. Most likely yes. Unless something has changed, what I've seen as been more or less the same as the old site.
2. Not sure what you mean by this, but I just woke up so that could just be me being unable to read.
3. Yes. Don't know what's going to be done with the forum tho. Profiles are already sort of there. Mine for example --->

4. To my knowledge it's a fresh slate. We do have the most of, if not all the old torrents stored, but they may not be replaced right away when it goes live. Would be a tremendous amount of work to do so right away when other things require attention first.
5. I cannot answer this.
6. KAT will be brought back the same as it always was. With torrents. I'm not a lawyer so I can't really say the legality of what the torrents may contain. As long has it's not dangerous(Malware, Doxxing, etc), really illegal(CP, Real violence & rape, etc), they can stay up until further notice. As far as DMCA goes, I'm unsure. We have the DMCA contact page open again so I assume that'll be the same.
You'd have to bring that up with the Admins. I just

By responding the other questions you just answered that question. Thanks! Also I agree with f95 on the namecheap thing.

1 more quick update.
Normal upload status has be reinstated. You can apply for uploader status via your profile if you have one. There is a XXX section for those of you who want another place to promote and/or store your torrent uploads. KAT Super Users and above don't really need to do this.
Don't be uploading malware or you'll have me to deal with. <3
Also the Torrent Widget things are sort of back, so that's neat I guess.

Like Muttdoggy said, yes regular uploaders can apply again. If you had an account on the old site that was an uploader, it doesn't transfer here. Fresh start and all that. If anyone is a VUL or above, that can probably reinstated.
Having not filled out an uploader request in some time I can't recall what exactly is required, but as long as we don't ping you as a spammer/faker you'll probably be accepted back again without much fuss.
You beautiful person, you. This is an early christmas present!
For someone who was more of a downloader than uploader, is there any ETA on when we can enjoy the return of KAT?
Once again thanks, best news in a long while.

No exact date. We originally had plans for Halloween, but got snagged up. For now all that's really available is the releasers areas. With normal uploaders now being accepted it's not going to be much longer.You beautiful person, you. This is an early christmas present!

The Daz3d community was there, but not nearly as active as it was before. Most seem to have moved elsewhere until torrents come back, I've seen no uploaders uploading 3D art stuff in releasers threads either.
Registration is safe should you wish to do so.

Hi!
Has some of you are no doubt aware, KAT is currently down. It's been down for at least 24 hours give or take with no warning, and to my knowledge no one was expecting it. At least, the people who have contacted me certainly weren't.
If you follow
Unfortunately I have no 100% clear answer as to why this is happening. I want to tell you it's just a massive change in hardware allocation, based off of what I know right now, but I can't be certain yet. While typing this, I've been informed some kind of message will be made on ET(ExtraTorrent) by one of our Forum Moderators ZombieQueen. Knowing ZQ this could mean any number of things really.
Will update more when anything of note happens. If you have any questions, I can try to answer them to the best of my ability.

, whose been working with us to help promote the site a bit, you've probably seen why the timing of all this is not great. We're very close to having torrents ready to go.Unfortunately I have no 100% clear answer as to why this is happening.
