First of all welcome to TDF. :)

Now regarding the first issue, yes, Mediafire, Rapidshare etc. may have been blocked by DOT. Though this has not been confirmed. But many peoples are getting the same thing, and for few it's working perfectly fine.

So nothing can be said about the issue right now. Google is always your friend, and the whole internet community has been already flooded with this news within few mins.

And for your second query, we know that's it's annoying but bear it for some time. This helps us control SPAM and Advertisements. After your post count rises and after your spend few days on this forum it'll automatically go away.

To know more, read the Rules : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/internet-www/announcement-forum-rules-updated-july-19-2011.html, and enjoy your stay :)

And before you and other readers panic more..I'm quoting this from a blog...

but yeah the interference is scary, proxies can still be used for RS, whole bunch of em here does anyone have a list to all blocked sites?

Back to school!!
I can access all of these sites, no issues what so ever, did you guys change your DNS? Use google DNS, afaik they can reroute DNS queries. Try using alternates.

PS: I am on BSNL Home FN600 and on old network(59.xx ip address).

The DOT are useless, only way to truly stop us is to use ip block and I doubt they have the resources for doing that.

Chill dude, you honestly think they have the resources to do what the USA couldn't do in years? It will never happen. Switch your DNS server.

Sorry guys but changing DNS Server won't help here. Though one can always try that out. But look at some other forums and blogs, peoples already tried changing DNS to GoogleDNS and others but that didn't worked.

Well, I and TheHumanBot was chatting over Gtalk and find a way out for now on for all those who are getting this site as blocked.

Open the link using any proxy. The link would be like test.txt

And then Right click on "Click here to start download from MediaFire.." and "Copy Link Address". Like in this case it is *download315.mediafire.com/exd5i7k1fi3g/d50mmldldqhtpbo/test.txt

Paste that link on your Download Manager, and voila..!! :D

India starts blocking file storage websites in a move against piracy

This is really a S#IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

File storage websites such as Megaupload, Putlocker, Rapidshare are being blocked in India.

A thread started on a popular online forum focused on developments in Indian broadband has furious and surprised users sharing a list of websites blocked by their Internet service providers. Going through the thread and my Twitter interactions, India’s Department of Telecommunication is behind the block.

Some users say they are not able to browse the file uploading websites, others say they can access and download content. A screenshot shared by Sunny Chahal on Twitter confirms that the block is in effect. Some other users are seeing the same notice. The error message:

Users of popular Internet Service Providers MTNL, BSNL and Airtel have confirmed seeing the same error while visiting some or all of the following websites:

Megaupload.com
Mediafire.com
Megavideo.com
VideoBB.com
Novamov.com
Movshare.net
Rapidshare.com
Putlocker.com
Hotfile.com
Fileserve.com
Filesonic.com
Filesonic.in
Depositfiles.com
Wupload.com

The decision behind banning the websites looks like piracy since most of these websites are widely used to share media production houses and record labels would want users to pay for. Users are comparing the ban to Internet rules in China. The Department of Homeland Security in the US also made definitive moves against piracy by seizing domains of websites hosting pirated content.

As of now there is no official word from the DoT, the story will be updated as we get more information.

(hat tip to @kalpik for the headsup.)
