Sneaky.

Has Vermin Media started blocking torrent sites? It would seem that many VM customers cannot access The Pirate Bay already. Has the rot started then?

Sounds like a routing issue.

How about a trace and ping to said website. You may find help more forthcoming from those who work for VM if you don't refer to them or the company as vermin.

Re: Sneaky.

My humble apologies, I wasn't referring to VM PEOPLE as vermin in any way. I myself have never had a bad experience with VM but I know many people who have, and this, combined with PMT, a bugger of a Monday and a bottle of wine may have made my judgement somewhat.....iffy. Again, my apologies guys.

BTW, how does one perform a trace and ping?
