Newzbin block has kicked in, their app doesn't work, ideas?

Yes.

Use the alternate internet. I think the name begins with T. I've totally forgotten the details.

Tor? might work, bit of darknet has never hurt anyone

Tor! That's the badger!

Turns out https://newzbin.com/ works

And the tor address is http://sc3njt2i2j4fvqa3.onion/ if they get mean

What the beck is Tor?? Need to reinstall the pc tomorrow night after work. Is it a blanket block from all isps??

Tor

narf, I've got a feeling that what Tor does is the next logical step of the Internet if people insist on trying to censor it/lock it down for trivial shit like copyright infringment.

I was going to be all smart arse and say TOR

Curious, it remains unblocked for me.

Do I fail at the internet for never having heard of Newzbin/Usenet before the BT block became news, and for never having heard of Tor until now?

nzb went down for a while the other day for me as well. I think they are fiddling with their systems somewhat, and they are saying they will move to https only shortly. Its working fine for me ATM though.

Apparently the BT block is far less than 100% effective anyway
