UK ONLY: torrents.

So, thepiratebay along with many other sites were blocked for most commercially active ISP suppliers in the UK. Along with this, my downloading career from torrents has more less stopped and I went back to links and the free links (thank god they are there). I suppose not everyone stood back from torrents and someone here still uses them. I do realise there are proxy servers to access thepiratebay etc but speeds are horrible, so don’t even suggest that. What websites/techniques do you use in order to download torrents now?
Answer #1
They were blocked but very easy to find proxy links i have not stopped using tpb since BT’s initial block right now i use this adddresshttp://188.126.64.107/thepiratebay.sxbut there are many more just google pirate bay proxy list.

Answer #3
Sorry but i don’t know much about torrents, but aren’t you just wanting to get the torrent links or magnet links from TPB? And wouldn’t you just put that link in and download it. As surely it’s not downloaded from TPB as they’re just an indexing site. So why would you need to go through a proxy to download. Or is your torrent downloading blocked too.
Sorry if i’m way off and it’s no help, but i was just wondering.

Apologies for not reading your post properly,but i cant see why accessing a site via proxy would make it slow down and for me this is not the case as long as a torrent has enough suppport i still can get 1.5-2.2MB/s no difference from before the blocking started.Where i do see a slow down is when my isp(BT)throttles this is between 3pm and midnight when the speeds are as you say horrible.
Answer #5
use a debrid account or a vpn.
Answer #6
VPN
Answer #7
To be honest I havent used torrents in ages, although sometimes i’d like to search on torrents to see if they have what i need. 90% of things can be found on file hosting sites instead, combine that with a service like All-Debrid and you’ll be fine
Answer #8

I wentback to links and the free links (thank god they are there).

I’m thinking they only want free options.
Answer #9
Steer away from torrents in the UK – maybe for good, maybe for a year or so.
They are watching them, even so-caleld “hidden” access with proxy/tor/vpn gets watched.
They might not see you torrenting but they see the use of a proxy/tor/vpn as tantamount admission that you want to do something naughty.
Answer #10
Download the Pirate bay browser if you want, the browsers main purpose is to bypass all website blocks in the UK and abroad
