REPLACING YOUTUBE
WEBSITES THAT LET YOU STREAM & DOWNLOAD VIDEOS:
It has now been seventeen months since we lost access to youtube in pakistan because of a ban imposed on september 17,2012. Following this ban, some other video streaming/downloading & torrent websites have been blocked & some later unblocked too at different times.While authorities continue their erratic censorship spurts, I thought to compile a list of websites that offer streaming & downloading of videos.
