working magnet links

That's by definition. A magnet link is hash of the data, in this case a torrent file, not the file itself. TPB switched to magnet for new torrents in 2012 to save space and increase resiliency. Furthermore, torrent clients search for data in the DHT/PEX swarm instead of relying on trackers. TPB shut down its own tracker in 2009.

In short, The Pirate Bay will live on for as long as its users want it to.

Not to mention seamless upgrades between versions, and even mixing/matching packages from different archs for advanced setups. Freely up/downgrading stuff with DEB-based distros is a bliss. When I learned that RHEL historically didn't even support upgrades between major stable versions I was awestruck (they seem to have made improvements for this in 7, good for them...)
