    Anyone using this or anything similar in rooms this year? Just tried connecting and it didn't work, wondering what's up.

    Er...the Great Firewall of Trinity?

    I suspect that anyone using 'this or anything similar' in rooms is unlikely to admit to doing so by posting here.

    I aint no computer geek, but id say there is a very good reason for blocking torrents, prolly the fact that half the time you dont know what your downloading and their a breeding ground for computer nasties!

    I think it's more to do with the fact that most of the time what's being downloaded is illegal......

    There's only so many copies of open office one person can need :)

    Besides, you can get MS Office free on DDLs if you know where to look. Anyway, I'm locking this thread because it's talking about piracy.

    I doubt you would be paying for a seedbox for sharing linux isos. Thread locked.
