Clearly somebody doesn't know how ToR works, and consequently what it actually is. Downloading files through it would be ..slow to say the least.

Could you use Tor to pull the download links| turn off proxy settings | then try accessing the download link?

No.

Explain a bit more because I could of said no.

No... ?
But what you could do instead of misusing Tor is buy some space on a server located outside America (most seedboxes will do) and install RapidLeech.

I must of not made myself clear. I understand a number of solutions what I could do to get around to access a site that is blocking connections to a specific country.

What I'm asking is specific details on how they are blocking US access --- exactly what method.

Since everyone seems to be an expert at what is going on here, please enlighten me so I can become an expert like you guys.

Where's the information? Theres no information here. All this is is a link to the site and a picture of it in a spoiler.



Anyway, FileSonic has also done the same, and removed their Facebook.

All traffic coming from uploaded.to is block to the US. Whether that be the home page, download links, or privacy policies. Nothing can get past. So although you'll be getting the link you wont be able to download it.

Thanks Wizerak for clarifying; although I am going to have to disagree. Not all communications are blocked. If I'm not mistaking, that image I am seeing on the mainpage is going through port 80 from their server which is not blocked.

Edit: Ahh I'm working on some math homework and put degree instead of disagree X_X Damn higher order linear ordinary homogeneous differential equations.

Using a GeoIP database, which maps IPs to roughly where they're assigned. It's how sites such as WhatIsMyIP work.

I actually think it's a good idea. =O
If more sites like these would start closing doors to US in a protest, it'd actually make the government or whoever's responsible for that to think about what they're doing, the US of A that used to be deemed as a paradise where people could chase their dreams and live in a country with liberty of speech is now trying to remove some of that liberty. Although it's a small issue that can easily be overcome with a proxy, it still is a good idea imho (only temporarily tho).

No, this will give the government a bigger head than they already have and try to make other sites do the same exact thing.
