Kickass Torrents & Eircom. (MOD: No Posting torrent site links!)

tfitzgerald · 21-01-2014 12:34AM

No problems using Utv internet. But what in have noticed is that I can't access some sites with google chrome it tells me there is a problem with the site certification.for eg I cannot connect to 1337x with chrome. But I have no problems with Firefox that will let me open anything

Weekend_Yet · 21-01-2014 12:50AM

I get a message saying the Pirate Bay is blocked when I use either Chrome/Firefox/IE.

If I use a proxy and use Utorrent to download I get an error message saying torrent is not valid bencoding.

Yup, seems UPC turned out to just as spineless as Eircom/Vodafone/Magnet in the end.

**** you upc, *****

WallsToTheBall · 21-01-2014 02:23AM

Laughing pretty damn hard as people blind and swear about UPC being cowards with UPC banners floating above their posts

bombidol · 21-01-2014 03:26AM

Yup. Kickass is gone from UPC now. Whats the easiest workaround?

I noticed the comments were not showing when hovering.
but if you go into the torrent the comments can be read

Yeah but it feels like a small victory for the block if none of the mirror sites have 100 percent functionality. Hover comment preview is nice if you only need to quickly check the quality of the file you're downloading.

Go to kickass, get message:

The Pirate Bay has been blocked

The website you are trying to reach is not available due to an Order of the High Court made at the request of IRMA on June 12, 2013 to block access to The Pirate Bay.

The lazy ****s, could have at least changed the name.

Yep, just checked, Kickass blocked on eircom with me too:mad:

certain kickass sites are blocked via o2. just happened last friday. managed to get around it

Zombienosh · 21-01-2014 01:13PM

I thought when this happened last time with pirate, there was some EU Law passed stating ISP's were not allowed police the internet and their only function should be to provide a service basically superseding the Irish sham law.

CarrieLee · 21-01-2014 02:27PM

Anyone looking for a Kickass work around - just look for the proxy site -

Mr.Torrent · 21-01-2014 02:46PM

All you have to do is set up a VPN. Its easy lads, let me know of you need help setting it up. Basically a VPN makes you anonymous online, also allowing you to stream from any site worldwide and use any site for torrents.Your ISP can't trace anything you do because no logs are kept of your downloads.You connect to a number of severs worldwide getting new I.P's.
BTW, Its completely legal.

Anyone realise that all your torrent downloads are tracked to your home IP address? Just using proxy sites aren't enough. All your internet service providers can still check what you download. You need a virtual private network

not all proxys allow you to dl torrents. so unless you use one like the search result from yours or torrenticity, the block will still make it hard for some ppl.

we should all fight back by going to freesat and saorview. hit them in their pockets. and if they strangle our internet we can remake dublinwan, but this time more powerful and cheaper to run with raspberry pi's running the show. with better coverage and better content. if youve already have your freesat you could host a node easily.

It seems UPC have now blocked kickass .......... as of today:(

Proxy working away fine for me

because if it was a game he would need to create a virtual(clone) hard drive if wanted to play without burning a disc.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Yes VPNs hide all your traffic from your ISP. Grand. They also show all of it to your provider. So unless you really trust your VPN provider(not a free one!) dont do ANYTHING important on it.

True. I pay for my VPN. A very reliable network but having said that I can't trust them 100%. The most important thing is that your VPN doesn't log your records, that way they can't prove when asked. But at the end of the day, its better to downland your torrents using a reliable one than have your ISP control your network.End of.

The US supreme court has blocked a lot of these sites inc Isohunt
