The Pirate Bay front page claims 4.187.907 torrents. But, this 164MB is only ~1.5 million torrents. Is the discrepancy from exclusion of the porn torrents? I'm guessing this guys scrape missed them; you have to be logged in to TPB to see them.

It does contain adult content.

The IDs are sequential, but there are substantial gaps. Removed spam torrents, most likely.
