Just went to go on kickass torrents & h33t, both have been blocked today by virgin, don't know if any other isp's have followed suit.
There are ways to get around it though lol.

Don't use torrents, but just tried with BT Internet and get the same result. Seems to be a total block on those 2 sites as well as another 'Fenopy' according to a news site on the net.
This is probably due after the court ruling concerning the Pirates Bay web site.
The ISPs are blocking the IP address then there's not much you can do.

kickass has been blocked before but soon came back.
Don't want to sound thick ricardo but what is a vpn?

Maybe they will set up a proxy themselves like piratebay did. It seems they've started cracking down I read 2014 to 2015 is when they're bringing the 3 strike rule in. Warez.bb & Rutracker are two of the biggest community active in file sharing.
Kickasstorrents, H33t, Piratebay and Demonoid were all public trackers and typically indexed same torrents when you check under 'tracker' tab in utorrent you can see those plus others. They're outlawing and driving it underground reducing the number of new file sharers each year but what's the alternatives ?
Spotify -> Excessive advertising, limitations and restrictions (10hrs playback restriction per month and until recently would only ever allow a track to be replayed a maximum of 5 times how pathetic is that. £10/month for premium.. working class poor can not afford to pay that and shouldn't be blasted with nonsense adverts on tv, radio, streaming etc and you really can't feel sorry for their industries as they more then make it up with excessive tax avoidance schemes
Itunes -> Last time I downloaded Itunes it had several unnecessary services that all ran in the background but all had dependencies on each other preventing disabling them.. plus paying £0.99 a song is ridiculous with some tracks being album purchase exclusives only
Overall to much nonsense trying to make a business out of everything but what if it's their subtle way of policing the internet and has nothing to do with money ? Utube is ok and ironically I just paid £6.16 for a "DJ Drop/Untagged" 2Pac remix but they keep changing the graphical user interface making it harder to view latest videos from subscribers plus now have to manually type up url to access my inbox
Torrentspy was my first torrent site, then limewire, bearshare, piratebay, demonoid, iptorrents.. then signed up and got lost in a world of private trackers which I barley ever downloaded from due to excessive rules but I found warez.bb and rutracker were perfect until paid to share filehosts and significant file host changes over past 3 years but is still good as I don't download a lot.
It doesn't seem good kickass & h33t profiting from annual traffic & ad revenue but I know warez.bb reports to be donating their traffic revue and also converted to an ad free website just over a week ago so have been making necessary changes in order to stay present

Using a Virtual Private Network across the Public Network (Internet) is the basic concept of 'peer to peer' working for Torrent Sites. As the ISP's in question have blocked the IP addresses then you ain't going nowhere.
Chances are these sites are on several IP addresses and ( as Bri365 says) they will be back again.

There are many tricks that can be used to bypass the blocks, like using Google's Translation Service, attaching .nyud.net to the end of the blocked site's URL, or if you have Opera installed, using the Turbo feature on it.
Many tricks here listed for TPB, but in some cases also work well for other sites.

^Info at this link, also works well for other ISP's who block sites, like BT etc.
EDIT..... though I have not tried this yet, I guess you could try a public DNS service (Like from Google), and input the settings to your network card (VM routers you can not set the DNS on unfortunaly), like this.....

Chances are these sites are on several IP addresses and ( as Bri365 says) they will be back again.
If you have a VPN service to a different (usually foreign) service, then your own ISPs blocks on the IP address would be bypassed as all the ISP would see would be the encrypted tunnel traffic going out of its network and over to the VPN host. Thus the packets going to and from the banned IP would be invisible to the ISP and therefore the link would work.
Simply using https would not work as although the IP port would change the destination IP would be the same and thus blocked (unless the ISP was only blocking http traffic rather than all traffic which is unlikely as it would involve more complicated and thus costly access rules and inspection).
Alternatively you could use a proxy to achieve the same result but bare in mind that the proxy owner can inject anything they want into your data streams so these should be used with extreme caution!

Yeah, it shows how pointless it is to try and block sites by IP address. Factor in IPv6 in a couple of years and the number of possible addresses for a site is then so huge that it'd be pretty much impossible to do this at all (shame 
).
