We work with academic institutions to ensure they allow this service. Please report universities which block the service using the feedback button shown in the lower right of the webpage.

We also encourage HTTP seeds to be specified (aka url-lists) by the uploader to offer a backup URL which can be contacted automatically if BT is blocked. We also offer a python API designed for clusters and university computers written in pure python which supports HTTP seeds: https://github.com/AcademicTorrents/python-r-api
