They couldn’t even illegal software sales at Hawalli. Those idiots don’t get the idea behind the internet I guess.

They might try to block the sites, but people will still download stuff from the internet no matter what, torrents or no torrents. This is probably a job of some smart ass newbie at the MOC just trying to show-off.

A few months ago MOC tried to centralize the blocking by forcing each ISP to have an MOC based block list, of course that failed cause most ISP never liked it.

Oh Kuwait going from bad to worst by the day.

Maybe they should give up on trying to micromanage people’s personal activities. You know, things that are of absolutely no consequence to anybody. Perhaps the time wasted on these things could be spent on important stuff like getting the public health system back in shape or fixing the public schools to the kids aren’t fucking retarded. But I guess if that were to happen Kuwait just wouldn’t be the Kuwait we know and love.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about ..
If they block the torrent websites:Use a proxy.
If they block/shape torrents transfers: Use transport encryption

Aside from that .. not much they can do.

They can’t block bit torrent traffic; they can only disable PnP porting which will lead to a dramatic drop in speed when downloading.
But I think allot of people will complain if they do so, since local networking depends Marjory on PnP technology.

if they just block the torrent website its no problem since you can still access them through proxy or something similar but if they were censoring bit torrent traffic like comcast in the states that would be a real hassle..
probably all those cable cuts were just a cover for a bigger thing to screw over all the peaceful file sharers :(

They can’t, you can actually buy your own proxy for like 100$/year. and you can do more! private trackers have their own ip addresses, changable.
