cd-2-dvd off

Its upto the ISP what they give access to. You are only renting a line from them, so if they want you to stay away from warez sites they can, and porn (well known sites).

And its not Illegal.

Depends on Terms Of Service, read it up. I have yet to see an ISP who would deliberately block certain web sites. They need us and we want full service or else...

edit: while some internet providers may openly discourage illegal activites, they are not a police force to enforce them, therefore unless a court order says otherwise you are free to make surfing choices yourself.

depends entirely on the isp, and in some cases the country the isp is hosting from...

alternatively try accessing it as www.cd-2-dvd.com
without the / at the end, if that doesn't work try accessing it by its ip...

In Hungary, some ISP gave a big head ache to torrent users by severely limiting the download speed on some ports. (Yes, I think it was a plain port filter only. I don't think they could analyze packets, as that would require a lot of computing power, so this could be circumvented by using non-standard ports.) There was a scandal and, I think, they... khm... reconsidered their opinion on the subject. So, yeah, give them hell - they're not an authority to tell you where to surf.

In my case, my ISP is Telefonica. Telefonica is very known for being one of the biggest ISP providers in Spain and Latin America (I'm from Chile), and it's also famous too for being one of the most restrictive ISPs available. Unfortunately, they are the only ones to offer Internet Service in my town, so I have to stick with them.

Telefonica also had given troubles with Torrent and P2P ports, had given slower speed connections than the ones promised and had block a lot of other sites without no reason (including this one). I had already make 2 complaints to them and none of them have been answered, so I'm just wasting my time calling them. Those are the disadvantages of living in a third world country...

But anyway, I'll stick to the proxy, I'll surf wherever I want because those are my consumer rights.

Thanks for all the answers. My problem is solved.

Bad Grumpy for not realising I was talking in General about ISP's and blocking sites.

I know cd-2-dvd aint a warez site, but tell that to ISP's who might think it is, but it was a general comment I was making that ISP's can and will block you from an IP range if they wished.

Actually your wrong with the Edit.

Its upto the ISP as its their service and their line they are leasing to you, you dont own the line remember, and if they choose to ban you for say browsing and downloading from a well known warez source they can.

But yes you are free to browse when and where you want to, but if its questionable they will come down heavy.

And most ISP's TOS is so full of holes it protects them from changes made, basically the biggest hole they have that you agree to (which 99% of people dont really read) is they say they will give you speeds UPTO the amount your leasing, i.e. they are not guarenteeing top speed and also gives them a leeway to throttle you whenever they see fit.

Look at Virginmedia in the UK the biggest loophole users ever.

lol, I knew what 'you' meant Dab, I mainly commented so others didnt think cd-2-dvd.com is a warez site.

I didnt want others to think I was involved with a warez site.
