So as the title says, the government where I live finally got persuaded to shutdown all access to *********, which is huge let down, and though there remains some other torrenting sites that are yet open to the public, none are as good as *********.

So I was just wondering, If i were to download the TORRENT FILE ONLY(from *********) via VPN, and then run it on my torrent client without the VPN, will it run the same ?


Edit: wtf, i didnt even link it =_=

Im talking about Pirat3bay

Where I live is irrelevant now, I have a problem and I need a solution, please.

It's stupid as ****, I know, but now I have no choice but to sneak around and find torrents in some other way.
For future reference, I just wanted to know the country that it's shut down in. I could tell my pirating friends.

Can't you just download the torrent from another website? Though I don't know of any other ones lol.

I'm not sure how to solve it as I've never experienced it but you can always try using a proxy (google it if you don't know what it is). Or try 'hola unblocker' extension in the google chrome store (it lets you temporarily change your ip address to look like its from another country). ---> Don't worry the hola unblocker is safe and legal too.

Tell me if it works. Hopefully it does! Pirat3bay is the shit :)

I live in Saudi Arabia >_>

I mean, if you ever were to live there you would realize how painful it is to lose the interent.

The country has almost zero forms of entertainment, so I stick to the web cuz I have no other choice.

Have you tried proxy bay?
No o.o

Will do.

Yeah, I know what a proxy is, but if I were to disable the proxy when using my torrent client, will it stop downloading ?

Of course your country will do that it's the Middle East smh
It's only Saudi Arabia, besides they adhere to the words of their Lords from the west and especially the US because this country is a monarchy and the people have no say in anything, so no one would rise against such laws. Besides, the government here feeds Saudis with so much money, its not even funny.

Is the rest of the Middle East really that bad? haha
No, not really. Its just Saudi Arabia that sucks, the rest is alright.

Its just that Dubai is really cool compared to other places there, but depends on how you like your tourism.
Dubai is filled with non-arabs and lacks any middleastern feel to it. It is a city, so if I were from outside the middle east, I would have preferred to see the culture of the people there. Try visiting Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, or Morocco if you want that.

Dubai is very cosmopolitan.

Morocco and Egypt are on my list of places I've yet to visit and I'll probably take some time out and go, seeing as they're close to the UK.

In some European countries there are organization that track torrent downloads and then they fine or punish them.IF you live in those countries then you are in danger.
You can use proxies at your computer or use pirate bay proxies.
VPN is a bad idea.It decreases speed.
