hermanm Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 So, I rented a server for Bittorrent use and see that my IP address is on the anti-p2p blocklist. Am I eternally damned to connecting to fewer peers, or is there a way around this short of using a VPN service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 That explains your previous question..The only thing I can think of is to get a different server. Any idea why it would be there? The company renting out other servers of different company's, like software companies or anti-P2P elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewelisheaven Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Bluetack bans "FDC colo servers" whatever an FDC is. http://torrentfreak.com/understanding-copyright-enforcement-080514/ covers three instances of bluetack's ... ban-em-all approachAs for your question... depends what kind of content you expect to be purveying off said server. If it's BLAH, and users who like BLAH are likely to be using PG2 or bluetack's blocklist.. yup. If it's not and the expected audience knows wtfux they be doing, then no.. you won't notice much difference from your home connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 FDCservers that sells unmetered unlimited bandwidth on their virtual dedicated. Competitive for USA prices. Not sure what you linked to, but here's a relevant discussion on bluetack and FDCServers. I'm not using FDCServers but it is a disappointing fact regardless. Its not the end of the world - paranoia provides longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Shroud Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I've had more than enough of Bluetack. They block µTorrent yet they do not block Azureus who openly has deals with the media companies. Not to mention that Vuze actually phones home unlike the other clients.

Nowhere near as sinister, but that doesn't stop some people from saying it's a bad thing to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
