BT sites inaccessible, netizens distressed

Beijing Internet users are scrabbling for downloads from BitTorrent (BT) websites following speculation that authorities will shut them down as early as this week.

"My roommates were shocked to hear VeryCD is going down," Huang Shan, a 20-year-old college student told METRO in reference to a major BT website.

"I may never be able to download Hollywood movies or classical records again."
