Chinese Torrent
Just a week ago, reports came in that China had started 10 video hosting sites, allegedly because of “regulations violations”. Other sites, including China’s largest eDonkey indexing site, VeryCD, received warnings. A few days later, however, VeryCD users found that their favorite eDonkey site was redirected to the Chinese search engine – Baidu.com. It soon became apparent that VeryCD was not the only P2P website to be. A host of BitTorrent sites, including, and were also affected.
People in the Beijing area who attempted to access the sites were promptly redirecting to Baidu, China’s Google. The domain hijacks continued for more than two days straight, but were lifted yesterday. According to some sources, there was never an attempt to censor the BitTorrent sites, claiming that a DNS error cause the problems.
China is not new to censoring the Internet, but up until now, BitTorrent sites have never been blocked. Recently however, several reports came in from China.
This doesn’t seem very plausible though, as the diversions almost exclusively involved P2P related sites, which are hosted right across the globe. Also, DNS issues can’t explain why all the P2P sites were suddenly redirected to another website. Mininova co-founder Niek, whose domain was to Baidu told TorrentFreak: “We had the questionable honor of joining Wikipedia and YouTube on the list of websites that (at some point) were censored in China.
Fortunately the people in charge made the right decision, and realized that blocking a search engine like Mininova wasn’t such a good idea.” “I’m happy to see that the block is removed now, though it would be nice to talk to the people who made this decision so we can understand their motives,” Niek added. The true reason behind the hijack attempt will probably never come to light. Most importantly, the ‘problems’ are resolved now, and all BitTorrent sites are accessible again.

For global politics Please and let us know what you're thinking. Just load up shooter.cn and your favorite torrent site. Find a subtitle submission that has good reviews (ideally 4 stars and 1k+ downloads) and then see which torrent file it's associated with. Then go onto the torrent site (TPB, kat.ph, whatever) and find that file. Often the subtitles sync fine even when they're NOT for the same exact file, and in VLC you can offset them to start earlier or later if you like. Note also, if you choose to download subs this way and then the subtitles don't display properly, the problem is almost always that you chose the wrong subtitle encoding (GB18030 for simplified Chinese, Big5 for traditional) or that your default subtitle font doesn't include chinese characters (just switch it to any Chinese font you like, ideally one with simplified and traditional characters).
