Indeed (and I can confirm it don't work). Nor
(contrary to what some claimed) does the use of an
https connection. But if Adam insists on using TPB (even
when his CCTV and
neighbours seem to offer so much entertainment) then I
am given to understand that at present there are still
plenty of proxies - eg https://tpb.pirateparty.org.uk

The last thing I downloaded from TPB was a film made in
1960.

_What the Electrician Saw_

The electrician saw floorboards.... ;-)

OK, _Carry On Wiring_ then.

It was The Time Machine.

Ah, Rod Taylor, a classic!

No it isn't, the wife has to watch that **** EVERY time it's shown.
I just hit the bottle.

It's a classic, just like Flash Gordon.

But I have The Time Machine on DVD. It was just faster to download it from
The Pirates Bay than is was to phone the gf to come round and fetch the DVD
up to me from the lounge (I had a broken ankle at the time). About 15
minutes to download it vs 30 minutes for her to fetch the DVD for me and
then she would have wanted to talk to me (they call it having a
relationship)after fetching the DVD.

I was in pain and needed to see an oldie.
