DNS resolution for most torrent sites

For the last week or so I cannot seem to resolve most torrent sites utorrent, torrentz.eu, KickAssTorrents and doing dns lookup gives such a result but other sites reply with proper details. dig torrentz.eu ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.1-Ubuntu <<>> torrentz.eu ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Just wondering could it be my ISP JTL blocking DNS lookup for torrent sites even after changing DNS servers on my laptop? Anyone experiencing the same? Regards, Job Muriuki, Skype: heviejob
