Then the first thing to try is another browser. Your Windows comes with Internet Explorer, your Mac with Safari. Same problems with those programs?

Some sites can't be accessed. Can happen. If you live in China for example, some sites are blocked by the government.

Can you give the details:
- what sites can be accessed?
- what sites can NOT be accessed?
- what error message if you try?
- can you ping those sites?
- any other blocking software (hosts, parental control, Internet security suite) installed?
- what files can't be downloaded from what sites?
- what exactly happens if you try?

When we read about torrents and sites like you mention our only advice can be:
1. Start all over with a recovery back to factory conditions.
2. Don't use torrents any more on your refreshed system.
