Re: Exit node blocking site?

[Arrakistor <arrakistor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello M,

I can tell you why it is probably blocked. Piratebay has port 80 torrents, which would then be routed back through tor, slowing the Tor network down. It isn't in our interest to provide low latency semi-anonymous networking just so people can download warez, infact, it hurts our cause.
