Spoke to O2, who are pleadin ignorance, but blame in on portal work. Strangely selective outage though : EZTV MININOVA FILELIST THEBOX THEPIRATEBAY. Demonoid, isohunt, xtvi were not affected. Perhaps they are readying themselves for a blackout later or setting up ip monitors on these sites...worrying. All back up now. Spoke to O2, who are pleadin ignorance, but blame in on portal work.

I just tried it from a friends host in NZ and it's up, so I'm guessing this is the same issue. Be have been awesome for torrents until now. I hope this is just a minor issue and they sort it out soon. I recently switched from Virgin Media to Be because they were fucking with my torrents so much. I don't want to have to go ISP hunting all over again! Well, I’ve got Be Broadband and I can’t reach Mininova today.

This happened to me a while back with black-cats.net an xbox game website - it was never unblocked after that. Could be the start of something bad....

Truth is, why else would someone seriously need that kind of speed (other than watching live TV or extreme BT usage) ----------------- As for BE Broadband, don't they have CAPS? Sure it's fast as greased lightning for 5 minutes until you've reached your quota.... I wrote them of as potential ISP for this reason. ------------------- As for what went wrong with the torrent site access, unless someone has a friends at network support in BE it's all speculation. I wouldn't put a blocking rule past the UK (little brother of bully US). Taking the safe for the unsafe and using proxies for all my surfing. It's not my ISPs business what sites I visit.
