    I mentioned this in the torrent thread even though it didn't really belong there.

    I've been trying to access a movie download site at home. I've tried using two different computers and browsers. No luck. The page won't even load. I'm not having any problem accessing any other sites that I know of.

    I tried the same site from my work computer and was able to access it with no problem, but I'm not going to download movies at work.

    Is Comcast c*ckblockng me? And is there any way around it?

    The cost of T1's is coming down all the time. At some point, I'm splurging.

    No. Legit movies, although there is a section dedicated to adult intercourse.

    How do I use a proxy?

    For those interested: movierush dot org

    http://proxy.org/

    You put in an address and it sends you to the site by routing through a different "proxy" server that doesn't block the content. I tried that with your site and it worked fine, but it won't come up directly through Comcast for me either.

    I don't think so. I can't get to it without the proxy.

    using comcast business line doesnt block it for me.

    I havent checked it across my residential line.

    Wonder if that would make a difference?

    When I was at my in-laws house today, i was able to connect to the site from their cable (they are/were Time Warner).

    But here at my house, with my TW/Comcast, I can't connect to it directly. I can only connect to it through a proxy.

    If Comcast is blocking it, I'm gonna be pissed.
