1337x wasn't opening on either Connect (cablenet) or PTCL.

Just checked now on Connect upon seeing your post and it is opening now alongwith glodls, rarbg and limetorrents.

On PTCL,1337x and Rarbg aren't opening but others are. So no they aren't actually blocking it per se I think. I usually restart my router and they start to open. Maybe it is specific to some IPs.

They are not blocking but as soon as you start downloading torrent they start throttling your connection

1337x is the best website after Extratorrent has been closed. Unfortunately, i couldn't access it after the last undersea cable issue. Now i have to use VPN after it. Same goes for Rarbg.

Most private torrent trackers are blocked on PTCL (I have both PTCL and Nayatel connection). Although they do not throttle torrents as far as I know ( I can dl the torrent file via VPN and then use it just fine on normal PTCL).

Throttling is being done on 8mb connection and above
I have 8mb connection. Torrents were working fine till a few days back but now they are having speeds of < 1 kbps.
Since when did ptcl adopt this shitty policy of throttling torrents.
Does it work on vpn / proxy?

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
