Slashdot Mirror

Since taking up Linux and forcing myself to use it on the desktop, I've really gotten a good grasp of computer internals.

To really learn about computers and digital technology, try this book: William Stallings - Computer Organization and Architecture Design (PDF, torrent).

If you wish to read the blog post and live in fascist country that blocks The Pirate Bay (Yes Finland, I'm talking about you among others), you can always use one of the proxies. E.g.

http://tpb.piraten.lu/blog/227
http://www.pirateproxy.me/blog/227
http://malaysiabay.org/blog/227
https://piratereverse.info/blog/227 ...

A search will find a lot of more tbp proxies.

Now, mod this up.

Mirror, for those who cannot access thepiratebay.se.

First method: Try a Pirate Bay proxy: http://thepiratebay.se/, http://malaysiabay.org/, many more

Second method: Several ISPs use simple DNS blocking, so try Google Public DNS. (This doesn't apply to OP, but may help others.) On Windows, you can use the following command to see if it might work, without changing your DNS: nslookup thepiratebay.org 8.8.8.8 (the IP right now should be 194.71.107.50).

Third method: Use Google Cache to find the magnet-link:

1. Do a site:thepiratebay.se Google search for the torrent.
2. Click the Preview (>>) arrow next to your result, and click the Cached link.
3. Click "Text Only" version if the page fails to load.
4. Finally, click the magnet link.

If the "Cached" link is missing from the Google search result, click on the search result, then copy the URL (the real URL, not the Google redirect URL), prepend "http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:" to the URL. (example)

The old, using google translate as a proxy works best and is suitable
for non-techies. HINT Translate the web page from Esperanto to English
There is also this lot I've copied and pasted

https://piratereverse.info/
http://malaysiabay.org/
http://thepiratemirror.org/
http://thepiratebay.ee/
In the mean time, get on the phone to Virgin now and complain.
Hint Call the number to open a new account, you will get though quicker.

Oh and lameass filter, fuck off with too many junk characters OK?
Do I have to type this bollocks to dilute the number of junk characters
in one post or something. FFS I've wrote worse code and that is saying something. Feck arse drink girls feck arse drink girls feck arse drink

You are writing in the future tense but this is already happening... I use http://malaysiabay.org/ because it is nearer to me and therefore quicker...

If they take that down I am sure that a copy will be up within hours... As usual the only people that will really benefit from all this are the lawyers.

Why would you use http on a torrent site? That's silly. If you use https, get magnet links, and disallow unencrypted downloads in your bittorrent client, you have full privacy. malaysiabay.org, contrary to thepiratebay, doesn't seem to provide ssl, so I wouldn't use it.
