Re: Blocked sites.....
i'm in southern indiana and have insightbb, what we can figure out here are that torrent sites that insight deams as haveing posible pirated material are being blocked. i can BT knoppix and other OS iso's but forget any other things such as anime or games. get a "http error -1" every time.. tried on my win'2003, winXP, Slack, Gentoo, Knoppix, and Ubunto boxes. if anyone knows how to get around this. drop a line;) |

That sucks! Sounds like you might have Sandvine going on down there. Can you confirm that certain torrents work fine and all others work like crap? Maybe they are testing a filter to do just what you suspect they are doing. It appears that in CU they tested Sandvine and it reduced all p2p to a crawl. Call and complain.
You can get to the website hosting the torrents though right? Cause that is the issue we are having. Maybe empornium is really high traffic and they chose simply to block it in areas where the traffic is bad to begin with. It makes sense bit torrent + pr0n oh no. But I won't care enough to find out until I see other sites that are blocked. Maybe Empornium is blocking this range of IPs from Insight due to some hack or something originating from near here. Seems more likely that is the case. |

got a hold of a tier 3 tech who seemed kind of pissed. he said they have started filtering on a "frame" level.. so what i understand is that it works against BT mainly since i'm on a central node for the city.. but hell i pay my $$$ a month..i want my access and he said that a few sites are blocked every once in while for one reason or another he wouldn't elaberate any.. thats all the info i could get.. oh well gotta go old school here now.. proxies and irc.. but i did love BT making life easy. and if any one reading this gets a "HTTP ERROR -1" on your torrent client.. forget it and go irc.. later folks |

| F*&% A! Well at least he was honest with you. The tech reps here didn't say a thing.
Maybe you'd rather move to DSL. Bt is way too easy but it will probably loose some of its power soon enough. With all the filtering and MPAA lawsuits going on. |

Well, still no luck here... No biggy really... Just irks me something fierce that they would block a site, if that is the case.
Other than this site, I have never had any problems with anything warez/BT/etc etc etc related. All p2p and BT progrmas have worked flawlessly for me.
O`well. I can live without this site (empornium), thats for sure. Hopefully that is the ONLY site that I run accross this problem with though....
Thanks for all the input/work though. |

I dropped some thoughts on this in a blog most just now. It seems many providers are definitely taking a stand against peer to peer sharing. I think the sharing part is what really gets them up in arms. |
