Just use a public proxy. If you search you can find http proxies that lie in foreign countries and jump through them to get to where you need to go.

well, I was never a fan of torrentspy either.. but I;m pretty sure the easiest way around this issue is a sweet little app call Democrakey.. It’s free and it uses Torr. So you surf anonously.. and for the most part you get IP addresses from outside the us anyways…
Might not work but hey its still a great little app, gets around my offices web filter and tracker!!! Sweet!

I never really liked torrentspy…aside from the logs and stuff, their persistent raunchy ads threw me off :P

Server logs are def. the issue here. I remember reading something about this on /. a few weeks back that they would be actively monitoring the logs due to a legal request or something.

TorrentSpy… you will be missed… :(

Looks like I’m going to have to find a good russian proxy ;)
