Campaign to get Qtel to unblock TorrentSpy - Downloader should unite

KatKutter's picture

Can everyone who is an avid torrent downloader write an to Qtel at censor/-a-t-/qatar.net.qa and ask them to open TorrentSpy.

Almost all torrent users I know prefer TorrentSpy as their primary source of torrents due to its usability. Qtel have blocked the site due the fact that TorrentSpy also carries adult torrents. However, TorrentSpy is simply an indexing site, the best indexing site on the net.

The rationale of blocking TorrentSpy due to the fact that it also carries adult torrents is rather unclear. Other purely adult torrent sites seem to remain accessible and programs like limewire, emule and bearshare work as well.

This seemingly arbitrary censorship is wholly unnecessary and pointless.

To all those whom download movies, tv shows, music and other media via the torrent platform. Please register your protest by emailing Qtel at the provided email.

fluffy123 said its illegal ...

i find it kinda of funny to ask a company to not ban something that is illegal.file sharing most of the time is illegal.because a lot of those thing are copyrighted. like people who download movies and songs.its stealing

KatKutter said I have called qtel ...

speaking to the folks at qtel was pointless, i feel the only chance of getting through to them is a mass appeal of the users. Please email as much as possible.

torrentspy has the best directory of torrents on the net, not being able to access it would be a loss.

To Fully123,

Torrents are not allows of copyrighted material and i really don't see how its qtels job to prevent access to copyrighted materials.

Scorpio said The problem with torrentspy ...

The problem with torrentspy is that the porn (or what I call soft porn, not even that), is on the actual website. The main page comes up with porn where as others don’t. Yeah they might have porn files, but they don't show porn adverts like torrentspy.
