So they are stopping pb from overseas.( I presume Germany ) Should there not be more hops in the trace route if that is the case http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/may/17/pirate-bay-offline Read the comments carefully. There is a lot of comments about the morality of Stealing Software. Which is not really the issue. Buy banning that sight they are banning people from getting Linux software. So they are lumping Linux Software in with the things that they classify as illegal. If they want to filter the illegal stuff out fair enough. But Banning GPL Software is wrong. Granted it might not be to much of an issue. But the foot in the door principle makes it worth taking a look at. But any way what I am wondering is it the telstra sight that is blocking things. Or is it an overseas sight. and also If it is a NZ sight that is blocking. Are they allowed to do that. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvyWRcACgkQ9ez56oQweu6a8ACfQzjyW+87eWXrvxN0TbbfVCGb kJQAnjTeyo7vavredqGyEl0gNaYnqoWl =Qv7x -END PGP SIGNATURE-

It's a miracle the Internet works at all ... I guess what's happened is that the upstream for PB has stopped advertising routes to their addresses. Within NZ routing is broadly based only on national or international; once you get into the international routers with multiple peers connected you need to know which route to take; if the network block that PB is on is no longer being actively advertised, it becomes unroutable. No need for anyone locally to do anything, it's a consequence of how large hosting centres set things up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bgp may give you the background you need here. -jim
