Re: The Pirate Bay is blocked
Ok I have just done a test.
A film was legally distributed on the piratebay called nasty old people.
When I add the tracker on my VM connection all the trackers timeout, only 2 of the trackers are piratebay.
I then installed utorrent on a windows server I got in a DC and added the tracker to it, some of the trackers still dont work but 3 trackers on that work fine.
So it would appear either VM are blocking more than piratebay or their torrent traffic shaping is extreme enough to cause connections to not complete. Incidently the movie downloaded in 14 seconds on the server in the DC, I wonder how fast it would have been on my VM line had it made a connection to a tracker.
Incidently kwikbreaks is bang on the money, I seen the bbc news article on he piratebay and it had a logo showing the piratebay homepage. that logo made me interested, I visited the site via a proxy and found out they making movies, the first been nasty old people and a 2nd one is in progress now.
