Viva blocking torrent websites?


I just made the switch to Viva Internet from the good ol' rusty e-Go. Well actually it's not that good. It has been acting up real crazy lately disconnecting every now and then, that's aside from the vast slow browsing and low bandwidth services.

But i couldn't help but notice that most of the torrent sites that i normally use are blocked with Viva!!

I usually use Mininova until i noticed that most of the files that I've been looking for weren't uploaded (I mean who doesn't upload Desperate Housewives, Prison Break or One Tree Hill!!)
That's when i was hooked up with Demoniod and it went well for a while that is, until it got blocked!
I then turned to The Pirate Bay as a last resort and baam it's blocked too!!
In the end, i thought well then they couldn't possibly block Torrentz because it's a database web that links the searched file to multiple torrent websites ... but what do you know, it was blocked as well!!

I never thought Viva would start blocking websites this fast given their new launch! This is really disappointing. Now Hawalli should revive again :\ god i hate that place.

Viva isn't the one blocking. It's FastTelco, which Viva uses. Ministry Of Communication asks ISPs to block these sites.
The same thing with e-Go & QualityNet.

Mininova had removed most of copyrighted material after Pirate Bay lost the trial in court in Germany.

I either use a proxy, or go to isohunt.com
