There’s a worldwide war against torrents right now. Content-makers and copyright holders are trying their best to shut down access to torrent hosting websites. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are under pressure to block all torrent activity.

In a world where you don’t need to be a pirate anymore, blocking the illegal download of copyrighted works should no doubt be stopped. But blocking the act of torrenting, which can also have legitimate purposes, isn’t the right way to go about it.
Here’s how you can unblock any torrent connection.
Note: MakeUseOf doesn’t condone the illegal use of torrents. Using the following sites for illegal purposes is done entirely at your own risk. We assume no responsibility for any legal issues you may encounter.
A Simple Hack: Start on a Different Connection
The first workaround for blocked torrent connections is a simple hack. You’ll find yourself saying, “Why didn’t I think of this first?”
A lot of ISPs and network firewalls (like those at offices or universities) apply only basic blocks. This basic block is restricting the first point of connection to a site or torrent.
So, to bypass it start your torrent on a different connection, like by tethering to your phone’s internet dataTethering: How to Connect Mobile Internet to Your PC or LaptopTethering: How to Connect Mobile Internet to Your PC or LaptopWith data tethering, you can use your mobile internet on your PC, laptop, or tablet anywhere. All you need is an Android phone.Read More. Once the torrent starts downloading, switch back to the “blocked” Wi-Fi and it will continue downloading.
This method doesn’t work if the firewall is a little more advanced, but you’ll be surprised how often that’s not the case. Try it out, you might have the easiest workaround with this hack.
1. Change the DNS Server to Unblock Websites
Often, the only block that your ISP implements is at the DNS level. The DNS, or Domain Name System, translates IP address numbers into website names. By default, you are using the DNS server controlled by your ISP. If you switch that to a public DNS, you will solve your problem.
The most popular free public DNS servers are:
- Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 | 8.8.4.4
- OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 | 208.67.220.220
- Comodo DNS: 8.26.56.26 | 8.20.247.20
You can change your DNS server in network settings, and you’ll soon be able to access all those blocked websites.
- On Windows: Go to Network Device and right-click > Click Properties > IPv4 Properties, and then change the DNS servers and click OK.
- On macOS: Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS, and add the new DNS servers, and click OK.
- On Linux: Click the Network applet > Edit Connections > Edit > IPv4 Settings > Automatic (DHCP) addresses only > DNS Servers, and add each new address separated by a comma.
2. Use a Free VPN to Unblock Websites
If you aren’t comfortable messing around with network settings, an alternative method to unblock websites is to use a VPN. A VPN, or virtual private network, masks your IP address’ origin.
Basically, you are shown as accessing the internet from a different country, where that site isn’t blocked. And so you can see it.
For this, you can use a few reliable free VPN services7 Totally Free VPN Services to Protect Your Privacy7 Totally Free VPN Services to Protect Your PrivacyFree unlimited data VPNs for Windows don't exist. Unless they're scams. This article lists the best actually free VPNs around.Read More, but they usually limit the monthly data download.

Here are your options for desktop and mobile, along with their hidden costs.Read More, but they have their own hidden costs.
Remember, we are only using this VPN to access blocked sites and download torrent files or magnet links. You shouldn’t actually download the whole torrent over such free VPNs.
I would recommend using ProtonVPN, since the company does not store any logs of what its users access, and is transparent about>
simbly awechome... That DNS server address change worked for me...
I used a combo of 2 of the suggestions. I changed my port to 80 to just get the torrents started, then changed it back. Worked great.
Good advices, but difficult
I prefer croxyproxy
just put link and go
Some ancients say that true knowledge comes only via some suffering. This was my case - my windows has crashed, and I installed it with my HP recovering system - it worked excellent. I got my newest windows with no upgrades need after recovery,
I installed my Norton and all my staff, and everything was fine, except uTorrent. I was unable neither install it nor download torrent files from Internet - only torrent files, other files were OK.
Neither advice about Firewall not helped me, I tried some other torrent clients - same, until I found advice about qBittorrent client. My Norton let it in, and let it be
on allowed firewall list (controlled by Norton). By the way, I found some articles about pirate torrents problems, which some author rights corp. owners try to fight
with sights blocking, also some torrent clients try to make unauthorized changes
on computers (I've seen it with uTorrent).
So, it seems better to get a right torrent client, which will pass Antivirus and spam
protection and allowed with Firewall, than try to overcome your computer protection to install questionable clients.
if you are not at home, using the service you paid for with your money, and you dont need to worry about about 50+ other people on the network... then by all mean, follow this guide if you must.
but if you are not on your own service, are traveling, or wanting a cup of coffee... TURN YOUR DAMN TORRENTS OFF YOU BANDWIDTH GREEDY SOD. do you realize the business you are sucking every byte from actually is a lower speed, more expensive per level than your home connection. and you put those other networks at risk while you are BEING SELFISH.
this is a reason i actively monitor my business's network access with MANY different tools yeah, i know the Pr0n sites you visit you nasty traveler, i know your fetishes (im nasty, but damn some of you people), and dont think a VPN is stopping me from seeing all of the traffic on MY network. i AM THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE on my network. oh the fun i have with injecting/editing/tainting packets to offending IP on my network (the same fun some VPN admins have). think about this while you download your next copy of nickelback.
Tons of solution none which need you to fork over money.
1. Tor for finding onion sites for torrents.
2. Firefox with a free vpn + torrent tornado plugin.
3. CyberGhost VPN service, preferably the paid version.
4. Tribler, just make sure to disable disk sharing.
5. Android ;-)
6. Open VPN + a free service.
7. Ethersoft, just be weary of installation and setup and choice of servers.
8. All the above in a VM!
I'm sorry, this sounds like an ad for express vpn.
Linksnappy.Com, but it is not free.
25gb storage. Download 10 torrents at the same time.
Downloading the finished torrents from the site is slow though.
Thanks, good to know!
Thanks! I was about to try that one!
hello there , Nice article .
i am in a totally different situation now.
i can't torrent with my normal IP , so i used Softether to change the VPN and the problem gone. but ive got only few data left and by using this VPN method, data consumes much faster and am getting only half of the download traffic.
( if my pc gets 200 kb/s , softether uses 100 kb/s and torrent uses 100 kb/s )
why can't i download with my normal IP ? , why do i need to change to different IP in other country ?
is it because my service provider blocking me ? if so
is there any work around for not loosing too much data with the VPN method
I made a video demonstrating how to run torrents anonymously . It will work even if torrents are banned by your ISP.
Please note that it only supports HTTP trackers so none of your UDP trackers would work. What it does is basically route all your torrent traffic through the TOR network (which is so secure that even the NSA hasn’t been able to crack it. )
Have a look (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6L3gXPFQkI) .
Hey guys, if you have problem with Chrome block or some other block screen try site filespook dot com and you will be able to download w/o issues and everywhere
Thanks Jay your your idea worked icredibly thanks
I think the best one right now is filestream.me. Though it gives you only 1GB per torrent(still its enough) ,it downloads super-fast and has no blocking or throttling.
P.S Sorry for my English.
Torrent
Although it can be used to distribute and download legitimate files, BitTorrent is mostly associated with downloading copyrighted material like movies, music and games. Many organizations and governments have tried to ban users from accessing popular torrent sites like Kickass or The Pirate Bay, but most users can bypass those restrictions with ease. Another restriction you might come across is harder to bypass as it directly affects the internet connection from your service provider.
Connecting and transferring data between seeds and peers in a torrent client requires a lot of bandwidth so some ISPs throttle P2P traffic at certain times of day or permanently to reduce the load on their network. If that happens and your ISP is throttling your P2P traffic you may never get a good download speed, even when connected to a well seeded torrent. A simple test to see if you are being throttled is to download Ubuntu Linux via torrent, this is always very well seeded and should download at close to the maximum speed your connection can handle.
If the result is anything like the image above and your speed rarely gets above a few KBps on a very well seeded torrent, then your internet service is likely being throttled. Luckily there are ways to bypass this problem and still download torrents at a good speed. A simple solution is to get someone else to download the torrent and then you download the files direct from them. This means no P2P traffic is coming through your connection so no data is being throttled.
Here we have 4 free services that download the torrents for you, then you can download the completed files in your browser at close to full speed, bypassing torrent throttling from your ISP.1. FileStream
FileStream offers a number of paid plans for its transfer and storage service along with a restricted free plan that offers basic features which should be acceptable to light torrent downloaders. With a free account you get to fetch torrents up to 1GB in size which are then held on the FileStream servers for 3 days.
Firstly create a free FileStream account, once the account is activated you can start supplying torrents to be converted. Paste a Magnet link into the green box or press the green upload button to upload a torrent file from your computer. Uploading a torrent file gives the additional ability to select specific files from within the torrent for download. When it’s done click the Download as Zip button to download the file to your computer.
Before starting it will first offer the a secure SSL or non SSL download. The download speed of the files used all of our connection so should be speedy enough for average users. We found FileStream quite fast and reliable and a decent service to use if the 1GB per file and other free service limitations are enough for your needs.
Visit FileStream
2. Bitport
Pirate Bay
Bitport’s free account is more restrictive than most others because you are given 1GB of cloud storage (which is also the maximum file size) but can only add one torrent per 24 hours to the account, even if the torrent is only Kilobytes or a few Megabytes in size. That’s fine for occasional usage but if you need more, look elsewhere.
Create a Bitport account using email or Facebook then you can paste a Magnet link, drag and drop a torrent onto the window or use the “Upload torrent from PC” tab to browse for a torrent file. A good thing about Bitport is when the file is transferred to your cloud storage you can view archives and download individual files inside or stream videos directly from the browser or to an application such as VLC or MPC-HE. Video files can also be converted and played with subtitles in your browser.
Although the free account does say the download speeds will fluctuate, the downloads for us came down at almost the maximum speed of our connection, so this could vary depending on time of day, geographical location or server load.
Visit Bitport
3. Seedr
In terms of allowances Seedr is quite generous because it offers 2GB of storage by default, but this can be increased easily by referring friends or writing reviews on your blog or twitter account. The size of allowed torrent file is also reasonable because it can be as large as the amount of storage allowance you have available. There is a limit of 1 torrent transfer at once though.
After creating a free Seedr account by supplying an email/password or using Facebook simply paste a Magnet or torrent link into the box and press the red plus icon to add it to your list. The grey upload button will let you browse locally for a torrent file. Adding additional torrents while one is downloading will add them to the wishlist which can be accessed by clicking on the star icon.
The amount you download from Seedr is not limited and you can download multiple files in parallel. We found the speed good and it downloaded at the maximum speed our 11 Mbit connection could handle. A Seedr Chrome extension is also available.
Visit Seedr
4. BitLet
We’ve mentioned BitLet a lot over the years but as time has moved on it has become more problematic, especially since browsers are doing away with Java support. BitLet requires Java to function so you need the Java Runtime Environment installed and configured as well as a Java plugin capable browser like Internet Explorer 11 or Firefox.
If you want to try BitLet because it might work OK for what you want to download, here’s what to do. We’re using Internet Explorer 11 as an example although you can use any browser that accepts Java plugins. Edge, Chrome and most other Chromium based browsers do not.
1. Visit BitLet and if you don’t have Java installed click on the red text and install it. Make sure to avoid the adware during Java’s installation. Do not try to use BitLet now because it’s blocked and a Java security warning will popup.
2. Go to the Java Control Panel (Start > All Programs > Java > Configure Java). Click the Security tab and press the “Edit Site List” button. Click Add and enter http://www.bitlet.org into the box, press OK and Continue to accept the security warning. BitLet will now have an exception in Java.
3. Close your browser and reopen going to BitLet, click the “select local .torrent” button. It may take a few seconds but eventually a Java security window will popup asking to run the BitLet application. Click the tick box to accept the warning and press Run. A file requester window will enable you to locate the torrent file.
4. Click the Download torrent button and at this point the Windows Firewall or your third party firewall will ask for permission to allow the Java platform binary. Allow it access and choose a folder to save the download to.
A small window will open and should connect to the torrent, if it’s well seeded downloading should begin almost immediately. A green or yellow status circle in the window means you have a connection, red means you may need to allow the default port of 6881 through your firewall or router or change to another port which is already allowed via Settings.
The torrent we tried above was downloading about half of the maximum speed of the connection, something like a well seeded Ubuntu Linux distro maxed it out at around 1.1 MBps. BitLet is very hit and miss nowadays and will not work with many available torrents, several we tried produced errors such as “could not start download” or “could not download metafile”. Because signup is not required though it’s easy enough to try out and see if it works for you.
Important Information About Torrent2DDL
On the face of it Torrent2DDL is one of the best and least restricted services out there and would have been a number 5 in our list. There is no limit to how much you can use and downloads can be downloaded directly, sent to Uptobox or video can be streamed. It all sounds great until you find out there are anti-adblock measures in place and the ads you’re forced to view are the problem. Below is an example of an ad we encountered after clicking on a file download link.
Some of the ads you get served are malicious, the image above is a typical scam asking you to pay for non existent repairs to your computer. This is similar to the infamous Microsoft and Facebook phone scams. Other scams and malicious ads being shown include fake Java updates, fake media player updates and fake Flash Player updates (below).
Advanced users will be able to spot these things easily but less experienced users could get caught out. The tech savvy can get around most of these issues including the anti-adblock by adding custom rules to their ad blocking software but everyone else should stay clear until Torrent2DDL cleans up the malicious ads. It’s sad that one of the better torrent fetching sites is currently one of the most dangerous with the questionable ad services they are using. You have been warned.
Editor’s Note: As you might expect there are other services around similar to those mentioned above. ZbigZ is popular and one we have talked about in another article, Megabox is another service to look at. An alternative way to download transferred torrents is using a Debrid service such as Alldebrid, although it costs money a Debrid service is cheaper than most other premium services and gives the added bonus of downloading links from cyberlockers like Rapidgator or Uploaded.
