Blocking Of Torrents

[seaeagle]

Wife heard on the news today that Thailand is (yet again) talking about blocking download torrents.

Seem to recall some people having isolated problems with downloads around the country before Christmas.

Anyone else heard of this news today, got some more news, or even having download problems?

[H2oDunc]

No mine are merrily downloading very quickly as I type

A Thai bit torrent tracker was banned yesterday for providing torrents to x-rated material (so they say). Since the news broke, many Thai trackers have suspended their services, at least temporarily. This is the latest I've heard.

Problem with demonoid website today, TOT Pattaya.

[bkkmick]

Yep, no Demonoid for me here in BKK.

[Jingthing]

Uh oh!!!

Mark your calenders, is this Black Friday?

Maybe this has something to do with the more recent country host of demonoid, .me? Meaning Montenegro as in Thaksinegro ...

On the other hand, only getting unable to connect messages. No scary government block webpage or anything like that.

I was on Demonoid briefly this afternoon, since then it has been inaccessible or 'down' according to downforeveryoneorjustme. I'm sure it's unrelated to whatever is going on locally since all the major foreign trackers are up and running.

[Crossy]

Demonoid is not working here in India either, so it looks like a site issue not a Thailand issue.

[Jingthing]

Good point, torrents obtained from demonoid are working, but the site itself is not happening. Hopefully not a block, but we'll see.

It looks like it's being deliberately blocked. VPN off = 404 error; VPN on = working fine.

Edit: True Bangkok

[Jumbo chilli]

demonoid,no prob,

Chiangmai 3bb.

[Supernova]

Yep, the 'demon' is back online (True, Bangkok)

[HeavyDrinker]

Demonoid OK in BKK too.

Must have been maintainance.

Fine in Ratchaburi. TOT.

I had an un usual occurance

Began downloading the pilot episode of Hawaii 5 O and it

was ripping at 350KB/sec for about 3 minutes and then

went off. There were some 15 peers and they all shut off.

That sure looks like a block to me.

This morning it still had not recovered.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Jingthing]

Back to normal TOT Pattaya.

All of the Thai trackers I use are still on-line, up and running. However they have removed all pron (real Thai pron is actually quite funny, just like Lakorn but with sxe).

Also no BT issues with TOT, CSLOxinfo or True. Demonoid seems fine, my ratio --> Ratio: 3,164,700,672.00 (Updated once a day)

Torrentmove has been inaccessable the past few days.

Both the website and the trackers have been down lately.

I'm on True

[Supernova]

^ That's the site I was referring to in my initial post. It seems Torrentmove won't be opening its doors anytime soon, so you might as well find a new tracker.

That wasn't the case yesterday.

Many 'local' trackers were down for a good portion of the day.

BTW, Demonoid was also offline for a couple of hours but is now back in business.

[Crossy]

Demonoid has moved domain to demonoid.me registrations are open now

[lomatopo]

I followed up a bit on this topic...it seems like the RTP started with street level DVD purveyors, selling pron DVDs then traced it back to offices occupied by torrentmove, initiating the tracker shutdown. So not really any internet/torrent "censorship" issue. Again, all my Thai trackers ae working fine, I did not notice any outages but then I use seedboxes so do not see blips. Appears to be a non-issue.

[mdechgan]

It just seems to be torrentmove.

On the webpage it seems to say something like they are letting their legal team handle the situation.

Do you realise that you are responding in a topic that hasn't seen any new posts for the past 11 years?

Things have changed slightly since then.

 

I suggest that you start a new topic as the information contained within this topic is dated.
