Pipex, in common with other UK ISPs implemt a filtering system to block access to URLs that contain content defined as illegal by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). The IP address contained in the error reported by Rapidshare is that of Pipex's filtering server that is designed to block access those sites defined as illegal by the IWF. Rapidshare currently have some URLs on the IWF's banned list. This means that all UK ISP's are likely to be restricting access until the URL's are cleaned up. Pipex engineers will notify Rapidshare in an attempt to expedite this action.
