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
