- Duffle, on 10/28/2007, -5/+443They're blocking Canadian traffic now, including me.
- DeFex, on 10/10/2007, -2/+254Yes we put the baby seal fur padded internet packets on a dogsled and rush them between our igloos.
on the border we have a Cisco baby seal to TCP/IP format converter - sparrowkc, on 10/25/2007, -10/+249***** THE CRIA!!!
- screwloose45, on 10/18/2007, -80/+298Canodia has internet?
- NickMilne, on 10/22/2007, -8/+218In Canada, the internet is 1.00878 times faster.
- LocDawg, on 10/18/2007, -5/+151in Canada, internet comes in bags
- ThreeDee912, on 10/25/2007, -2/+122Basically the same thing happened to TorrentSpy. They were forced to block everyone in the USA. :-/
Well, my ratio went from 3.14 (I try to keep it at pi) to 1.12? That's not good... - troelsbay, on 10/10/2007, -4/+112Wait, isn't demonoid based in canada now? How can they block canadian traffic if they're actually in canada?
- Renton, on 10/10/2007, -3/+110"Hey, demonoid is back up"
"Cool! Lets go crash their servers" - blachole, on 10/10/2007, -9/+116Looks like a lot of people owe TorrentFreak an apology...
- Riker, on 10/25/2007, -2/+108"We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and We need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this. If you reside in Canada, that is the reason you are being redirected to this message. Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for any inconvenience."
Message from site... - GWAN, on 10/25/2007, -0/+84"I try to keep it at pi"
haha thats geek on a new level! - NathanCH, on 10/10/2007, -5/+86I'm using a proxy to access the site from Canada
- abddoc, on 10/25/2007, -3/+83This is the first time that living in Canada has been a bad thing.
No, wait, I can use a proxy. Living in Canada is still awesome!! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -10/+85Quote from the Demonoid Chatroom:

Demonoid rulz! - stonedslacker, on 10/10/2007, -2/+55For anyone who can't access Demonoid anymore, you can install the following Switchproxy addon for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/125
Then google your way around for proxy lists and tutorials (if you haven't used proxies before), and you'll be back in business. I used to do this when my ISP was blocked by demonoid a few months ago. Browsing becomes a little slower but imo this is the best way for a workaround.
If you can access the site using proxy but the tracker cannot be accessed by your torrent client, there are proxy workarounds for that too depending on the client you use. - haveblue, on 10/10/2007, -4/+50We received a letter from a lawyer represeting the CRIA, they were threatening with legal action and We need to start blocking Canadian traffic because of this.

- loginx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Great, now maybe I should send a letter to ask the CRIA to refund all the money I have paid in blank media levy.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+49apparently the Canadian education system doesn't put a lot of emphasis on developing a sense of humor.

- Jeffler, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32I wish I could digg you twice.
- carlonchox911, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26Well , you can use the proxy to browse the torrents and I think the tracker isn't blocked for Canadians
- m1ss1ontomars, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Wait...so it WAS the CRIA, right? I hope the person who submitted this wasn't being sarcastic.
- Xanium4332, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24seal sniffing?
- fac3less, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22You moron. They're not torrenting over TOR, they're visiting the site via TOR.
- captainchris, on 10/18/2007, -1/+22in canada i send written website requests by mail, and then i can choose to get the webpage printed and mailed back to me, or put it on a cd or floppy. it's pretty fast.
- ehmjay, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Oh man, blocking us canadians!?! Thats so lame!!! Stupid CRIA and their damn american affiliates RIAA!!!
Oh well, with some proxy work you can access the site - dont know about that trackers though. - DharmaTurtle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Canada jokes stopped being funny when their loony beat our dollar.
- inactive, on 10/25/2007, -2/+22FAIL

- cosmotron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19So they moved from the Netherlands to Canada in order to escape prosecution... and then they block Canadian traffic... wow.
- dhughes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17 I'm paying a levy (a tax really) on CDs, DVD and soon the supposed reinstated iPod tax and now this?
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17They do Https by armored truck.
- fxspec06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17And a pretty decent ratio as well! everyone loves pie
- twtmc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19They didn't block us from the tracker! *dances* all you need to do is find a browser-based proxy and go download the .torrent files through that. A bit annoying, but where there is a will, there is a way.
