I suspect its just the proxy being overloaded, but you are using a ISP what is actively supporting greater censorship, in an area full of students/freeloaders and with high internet traffic.

ISPs staff are way smarter and more ruthless than folk realise and NTL/virginmedia were experimenting with censorship/traffic control a decade ago. However its not like China or Iran (though US companies quietly work with these nations to refine their censorship software especially in a multicultural world where traffic/content anywhere may be in different languages) – you aren’t going to get feds to your door unless you are reselling stolen things for profit and even controversial political stuff is permitted, its just that things what use more bandwidth without making money for legit advertisers tend to randomly stop working at peak times.

Or are you still trying to download submarine porn? You know what happened last time! :laugh_at:

I can give you an invite to demonoid if you like as well if they still require one to join. (they are much better then pirate bay imo, much less chance of viruses as the torrents are vetted a lot of the time, it’s invite only and you get kicked off the site for uploading infected torrents. Make sure you read all the comments still to see what people say about the torrent, beware of false positives from certain anti virus that some people will say “THIS IS A VIRUS” … but then you can tell it’s not when about 20 other people explain to them it’s because it has a keygen in it or something and this is detected by certain virus software as being a virus.
