Using tracker.thepiratebay.se does work OK with Melita without
DNSCrypt.

Ramon, I think you will find that
'thepiratebay.org' site is down.
But you can use 'tracker.thepiratebay.se' if you want to check
what the
IP address you get.

A very simple test is to try to get the
IP address of one of the
blocked servers. One example is tracker.thepiratebay.org
<http://tracker.thepiratebay.org>. It will give you the
address
127.0.0.1 - which is a false IP address that points to
localhost.
host tracker.thepiratebay.org
<http://tracker.thepiratebay.org>
If you try to set your DNS server to any other address it will
be
ignored because all use of port 53 is being trapped and forced
through
GO's servers.
host tracker.thepiratebay.org
<http://tracker.thepiratebay.org> 8.8.8.8
(8.8.8.8 is Google's free DNS service)
The article on The Times mentions DNSCrypt, which is software
that can
be used to bypass GO, but this should not even be necessary.
Besides,
apart from hijacking the DNS requests, many of the servers are
being
blocked by IP address as well.
Can anyone perform similar tests on Melita to see if this also
happens
on their internet service? If not, then I'm probably switching
over -
and if I do I'll switch everything including TV etc.
On a related note, this is what happens when the authorities
allow one
ISP to buy up its own competitors - waldonet, keyworld,
nextgen all
bought by GO, along with datastream, creating a monopoly by
elimination of the competition. So much for competition laws.

Yes but this goes several steps further. They are
actively
sabotaging
your DNS queries, blocking you from using any DNS
server other
than
theirs, and actively blocking the IP addresses of many
trackers. I've
just written to ask them about their policy and will
today ask
the same
of the other ISPs. Essentially, GO have decided to
work for IP
rights
holders behind the users' backs by blocking the use of
bittorrent
altogether - and unless people protest this will only
be the
first step.
It's like GO has decided to adopt ACTA tactics
voluntarily and
secretly.
