| Junior Member | Guys, Do you all know BSL started blocking torrest web sites.... demonoid.com was the latest site which was blocked. But, there is a way to access it... go to proxyhero.com and access the website from there... this is just ridiculous, how can they block the torrent websites without any intimation....

| Junior Member | I have not encountered this problem yet. But I do face some trouble downloading torrent files from torrentspy.com. I just do a few page refreshes and somehow manage to DL the files. If BSNL starts blocking torrent networks, then it will rapidly loose customer base (esp the young ones). |

| Junior Member | I've confirmed it... BSNL has definitely blocked the demonoid site... a DNS ping shows that the site is up and running with a ping time of 59ms.. So it is definitely a blocking problem... Now we need to check if BSNL is blocking only the site or the tracker as well.. Ask some of your friends to send you a file shared on the demonoid tracker with DHT (distributed hash table) off and try to DL that file with a torrent client and lemme know if it works or not. I will try from my end and give you the results pretty shortly |

| Junior Member | Did you check whether the DHT was off or not? Because in DHT enabled torrents, even if the tracker is offline, users can share and DL files. You can check the status of DHT by looking at the general properties window of the torrent file in a client like utorrent. (I dont know the position of the DHT status window in other clients) |
