Hello,

I just noticed that while on TorrentSpy.com when I tried to download a torrent, it was blocked by PG-PW,
the address is: 63.218.9.59 and comes back as Beyond the Network America, Netsentry ect.
Who is does show cache.torrentspy.com as hosted on Beyond the Network Americas Servers.

So is this site really related to anti p2p?
Scary enough to realize that they are based here in the US, I used to really like that site, but now I'm not sure if it is safe to even view.

Can anyone help to clarify if this is safe or not?

Thanks
Killer

TorrentSpy is OK.

63.218.9.59

That's in:

Panther Express Corp:63.218.9.56-63.218.9.63

http://www.pantherexpress.com/

I blocked an IP in another range of theirs when I just tried to dl a torrent:

Panther Express Corp:207.226.113.32-207.226.113.63

That also happens to be in Beyond The Network America. Not everything in BTNA you encounter will be anti-p2p.

Thanks Monk,

Here's another thing I have had happening, after visiting TorrentSpy (Not Logging in) I get HTTP blocks from this IP 205.177.95.70. It absoultely slams me to the point that no other Http site will load, I blocked the name server relate to this IP. Its funny I've used Torrent Spy for a couple years now with no problems but here lately I get slammed with BTNA hits afterwards now. Personally I think I'm putting Torrent Spy in the past!
Here's some info I found on the offending IP.
