| Re: Incomplete List said by AZ_OGM  :And North Korea, Iran, Cuba, etc. Point.
Until this "Glasnost Project," which, humorously or not, is named after a scheme under which a former Soviet leader tried to perpetuate totalitarian rule in the USSR, actually provides a complete list of countries and ISPs which block Bittorrent, I think it is premature to conclude anything from it.

If you had looked at all before asking you would have realized that. It is still a new tool which not a vast majority of users are aware of. The sample from which this information was taken was a very small one specially from other countries.  | |

Do you drive your car before it is done being manufactured?
Do you live in an unfinished house?
Do a full and complete analysis, then come to a conclusion.

Seriously , they made no such claims. The writer of this article did. All they did was provide their current data. They did not say it was a representative sample of reality or anything. They did not say they had come to any conclusion.
So before you speak, I ask once again that you FREAKING REVIEW THE SOURCE. | |

| Re: Incomplete List said by Karl Bode :China is listed as having 8 nodes tested from 6 ISPs with no blocks reported. Obviously this is a new project looking for additional data samples. Then it would be incorrect to conclude that the USA and Singapore are the worst offenders.

| Re: Incomplete List said by Karl Bode :Whatever you'd like to believe, I guess. At best, this website provides tools for testing. But without actual research being done in many of these countries, it is not possible to reach a credible conclusion.
It would be like saying "Wyoming has more crime than California" when all your evidence is just the crime stats for Wyoming and nothing else for California.

| Re: Incomplete List At best it shows that at least for the limited amount of testing, SINGAPORE and the USA are WORSE offenders. However, being the scale of ISPS tested are limited (pending more exist obviously), only cannot make this assertion on a whole. Merely, one can just look at the data and say in terms of what has been collected, the US and SINGAPORE are fairing much worse at this given moment. That may or may not change, obviously. Time is he deciding factor. Still, it's sad to even note we make the list. We champion the cause of Democracy while doing everything we can to back paddle from it in the last 10 years in both private and governmental sectors. | |

1 edit | Re: Incomplete List Well Ireland has now pulled ahead of the US:
Ireland 1 out of 7 = 14%
Canada 1 out of 99 = 1 %
Malaysia 1 out of 2 = 50%
Singapore 1 out of 6 = 16%
US - 10 out of 199 = 5%
Edit: So the US is 4th now... | |

That's the great thing about on-going tests, the conclusions and results can be updated as time goes on. | |

00000 | So how do the account for a tester that may be sitting behind a company firewall? Does it account for that? What if I am sitting in a hotel that blocks this traffic? Does that mean that the ISP is falsely accused of shaping this traffic? | |

I haven't personally run the test as all their connections are in use when I try it but you make an interesting point. What if isn't your ISP that is blocking the traffic but your ISP's provider instead? Does the test differentiate between which service provider is doing the blocking?
