Easy solution for bypassing the block (edit: or routing issue) : My post: http://wp.me/pJEJe-yr

I can confirm that this solution works. Am on Xfinity and browsing TPB right now.

Any proxy will work, you don't have to go to the trouble of setting up TOR. It's just massive overkill to access a single site, especially when you don't care about anonymity.

Absolutely true. But it still is an easy, 1 step, free fix for those not familiar with using a proxy. Thanks. And anonymity as a bonus is certainly not a downside. Besides, why bother using it for just one site? I'll be using it now (with noscript and a few extras) to access any and all torrent-related sites. Might as well nip it in the bud now rather than later.

Now we just have to be concerned about tracker-blocking, if they were to choose to do so. As of now it's not an issue of any real concern, as most piratebay-related trackers have been unreachable anyway.

IIRC, magnet URLs were invented so bittorrent doesn't have to rely on centralised trackers

Trouble? Download the Tor browser bundle and launch it. It's just about the easiest solution imaginable.
