Archive.org is being blocked

[Cassie]

The internet archive is being flagged as "bittorrent" whenever the residents here try to read a book, stream a TV show, or ANYTHING.

Case in point, this is antiques roadshow, this is free to use under public license, as it was released on PBS, but fortinet is blocking it: https://ia600508.us.archive.org/4/items/antiquesroadshowspecial/Antiques%20Roadshow%20Special%20Edit...

It is false flagged AS TORRENT, what gives?!

Please, I am requesting that ia#.us.archive.org be removed from your weird torrent filter thing, it is a false flag. I know there's .torrent files there, however all p2p bit torrent files on the internet archive are generated BY the internet archive, and are heavily moderated. They are all 100% legal and do not require moderation from fortinet as well, because you're blocking NON-torrent files too. For many, the internet archive is an important resource for being able to read books, etc.

Thank you.

(edit: the link is a mpeg layer 4 (.mp4) media file that plays an episode of the antiques roadshow, not a .torrent file)
