These days TPB is little more than a indexer of magnet links.

I think there was a claim floating around that one could offer all the TPB magnet links in a simple text file that would be a maybe a MB in size.

It's more but not even 100MB: https://archive.org/details/pirate-bay-torrent-dumps-2004-20...

This does not include the descriptions though.

I downloaded it once. The entire catalog of TPB in magnet link form worked out to 63mb zipped IIRC.
