don,t see IP. Filter in logger tab?

StringDrivenThing · 2009-02-04 08:28:12

hi i,m using u/torrent 1.8.1, wanted to look at the blocked list in the logger tab. but it doesn,t show any IP filter, only says :- IPv 6 is installed
torrent storage folder can,t be same as the autoload folder.nothing else,

have right-clicked in peer tab and clicked reload IPfilter, still nothing,
have also clicked "log traffic to logger tab" and have ticked the "log blocked traffic" in the peer traffic drop-down, shows all traffic/connections/ "sending piece", sending choke", etc, but doesn,t show any blocking..?

have searched the forums,tutorials, etc, aware that 1.8.1 has IP blocker incorperated,
have been to ;- preferences> Advanced> IP filter enabled> "true" but...

How can I view the blocked traffic/IP. list,? what am I missing? [apart from braincells]
also tried to manually install an IP. Filter.dat file, in >my roaming torrent folder< still nothing...

Create the file ipfilter.dat in folder %appdata%\utorrent then load it in Peer tab (right click).
In logger tab, you will see:

[2009-02-04 18:56:19] Loaded ipfilter.dat (292576 entries)

With using the ipfilter.dat you only see entries which are in this file already.
uTorrent doesn't add the blocked peers (after hashfails) in that list - if you mean that.

hi moogly, when i open %appdata%\utorrent, it opens as APPData>Roaming>utorrent file, i,ve dragged ipfilter.dat into this,but clearly i,m/this is not the right procedure,what mistake am i makin? and if i get past that, how do i load it into the peer tab.??? tried to drag it into peer tab. utorrent says "unable to load ipfilter.dat. part file. invalid torrent file."

[when i look at the ipfilter.dat file in this folder, it says its a "part file" [1.75MB] does this mean i aint got the complete thing?]

schnurlos, hi,my concern is i dont see the caption moogly has posted above :- [2009-02-04 18:56:19] Loaded ipfilter.dat (292576 entries) when i [right click] in logger tab, makes me think ipfilter can,t be loaded/ working???
any help you can provide,.. in advance,...many thanks!

You need to write IP to block in ipfilter.dat.

Go to Peers tab of an active torrent. Righ click on a peer you want to block > Copy Selected Hosts.

Open ipfilter.dat in %appdata%\utorrent and paste (ctrl+v). Save.

Then go to Peer tab again, right click a random peer > Load IPFilter.

Check your logger.

He told you already. You didn't follow the directions.

Did you enable the display of extensions for known file types to make sure your file didn't get a double-extension?
