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...

if they want you to stay away from warez sites

cd-2-dvd.com is NOT a warez site.

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.

Pray tell why would you be interested in torrent and P2P stuff :P

I live in Spain and am a telefonica client, as far as i know, no websites are blocked in spain by telefonica, hell i´m the developer and one of the owners of cd-2-dvd.com and never had any trouble accesing it so it must be a southamerica policy : /

I can't conect to it anymore.

Thanks.

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

/end-slapping

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.
