Ever since TalkTalk started blocking Torrent sites etc.
Better than keep looking for proxy websites to allow you to get on these websites Just Download the
TOR Browser.
Keep it simple I say and it's fool proof. (Famous last words)

[h=2]Want Tor to really work?[/h] You need to change some of your habits, as some things won't work exactly as you are used to.

  1. Use the Tor Browser Tor does not protect all of your computer's Internet traffic when you run it. Tor only protects your applications that are properly configured to send their Internet traffic through Tor. To avoid problems with Tor configuration, we strongly recommend you use the Tor Browser. It is pre-configured to protect your privacy and anonymity on the web as long as you're browsing with the Tor Browser itself. Almost any other web browser configuration is likely to be unsafe to use with Tor.
  2. Don't torrent over Tor Torrent file-sharing applications have been observed to ignore proxy settings and make direct connections even when they are told to use Tor. Even if your torrent application connects only through Tor, you will often send out your real IP address in the tracker GET request, because that's how torrents work. Not only do you deanonymize your torrent traffic and your other simultaneous Tor web traffic this way, you also slow down the entire Tor network for everyone else.
  3. Don't enable or install browser plugins The Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into the Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and privacy.
  4. Use HTTPS versions of websites Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network, but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends upon on that website. To help ensure private encryption to websites, the Tor Browser includes HTTPS Everywhere to force the use of HTTPS encryption with major websites that support it. However, you should still watch the browser URL bar to ensure that websites you provide sensitive information to display a blue or green URL bar button, include https:// in the URL, and display the proper expected name for the website. Also see EFF's interactive page explaining how Tor and HTTPS relate.
  5. Don't open documents downloaded through Tor while online The Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING. You should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor (especially DOC and PDF files) as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them. This will reveal your non-Tor IP address. If you must work with DOC and/or PDF files, we strongly recommend either using a disconnected computer, downloading the free VirtualBox and using it with a virtual machine image with networking disabled, or using Tails. Under no circumstances is it safe to use BitTorrent and Tor together, however.
  6. Use bridges and/or find company Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor. If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a Tor bridge relay rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network. Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them. Convince other people to use Tor, too!

Isn't tor a bit OTT for accessing blocked torrent sites, proxys are easily found and there are browser plugins which can get round the blocked sites

Depends how secure you want to be. Yes, the proxy gets around the so-called block but it's easy to sniff the 'payload' so the ISP can easily figure out what you're doing.

The mechanism detailed by @Manic can provide an encrypted link from your system to the target but the ISP will only know you connected to Tor, not why.

I couldn't give a rats ass (no offence to @Rat or @Ratts :)) what the ISP suspects or figures out.

also your activities could be seen as more suspicious if the ISP or the powers that be detect you using the TOR network... :)

Quite possibly, but with Tor all they have is their suspicions. At the end of the day it's a choice thing.

Well depends, Myself I personally don't think it's OTT, because I never have to bother looking for any proxy's or have to keep finding new Proxy's when they die.
You only have to set the TOR up once and then It's just click open and I'm on any blocked website without the fuss of searching for over used and insecure Proxy's.

Bit late to the thread but I found easiest way to access blocked sites is to use Opera browser and enable Turbo Mode, its used to compress data to save bandwidth but in doing so acts to encrypt where you are on the net... Im a UK VM customer and many sites are blocked, but switching from Chrome to Opera for cetain tasks solves the issue easily.

Turbo mode has been available for a while now and am surprised it is not more popular!
Hope this helps someone :)
