I've come to depend on peer to peer downloads for music and movies and suddenly yesterday, the bit torrent download didn't function. Are these things getting censored like rapidshare and megaupload a couple of years ago?

I had no problem with bittorrent yesterday, but my favorite torrent website did drop offline for a while.

I get this problem occasionally. Cannot use my favourite site one day, next day fine.

Using torrentz.eu could ease downloads any torrent as when you search you have access to most well know torrent platforms.
If one is not working, you just switch to another.
