- amir734jj 5y agoCan confirm this.

- LeoPanthera 5y agoIs that actually true? Because I thought it was "content" owners hunting for torrents containing their stuff and then sending DMCA complaints (or local equivalent) to the ISPs of everyone in that particular swarm. Are there really ISPs that just blanket block all torrents? I've never used one that does.
- Shared404 5y agoThere's some local to me that don't necessarily block torrents, but will get upset. Mostly just means I set up a VPN through Linode or whatever.
