davcho Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hi! I'm a newbie here & I have some questions to ask & appreciate if anyone could explain this to me.I recently seed a torrent using utorrent 1.6 & i could see there was a bunch of peers with no country flags but with the same ip addresses but the last numbers sequences like this - example....38.xxx.xx.233/234/235/236 & 208.xx.xx.101/102/103/104 all using Azureus 2306. And the weird thing is that they doesn't download anything from my client.Their flags are mostly K/KX/KIX & even wierder is that other clients with country flags shown couldn't download anything even though their flags are UI.Is this some sort of jamming thing to prevent anything from downloading from the torrent???

kurahashi Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hm, its possible, still can't imagine why (this "jamming") would work thoughAnyway, just use ipfilter and enter (add) their ip ranges and everything should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Several of those IP ranges are known anti-p2p organizations placing fake seeds in swarms in an attempt to poison torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I just block all of 38.x.x.x to be on the safe side...I never have seen a good peer/seed/leaf/node/ultrapeer in that ip block. However I can only do that inside my p2p apps -- LOTS of regular websites reside in that block! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtec666 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 [useless quoting removed by moderator]A bit off topic but how do you do that? If I enter IP ranges in ipfilter.dat it doesn't seem work (only single IP's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davcho Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hey guys!!! Sorry, but i'm not technically savvy. So, how do you get that ipfilter dat.??? Do you use notepad to write it or there is one that could be downloaded??Another thing, recently i downloaded a torrent & those bunch of buggers are there too. I've noticed that what actually happened is that they download from the first bunch of peers until all of them have reached their quotas for seeding their respective ratios & leaves the said torrent leaving no one to seed for the rest of us!!! I've also noticed that the peers keeps on getting higher but no one seeds. IMO, from what i've seen, they repeated this process over & over until we gives up the torrent....grrrrrrrr.

Ultima Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Either solution works (making your own in your favorite text editor, or downloading one from the internet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsorc Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I might consider peer guardian but for now ipfilter.dat will do the trick.Thanks. Those 38.100 were annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 http://neuron2neuron.blogspot.com/2006/05/blocklist-balderdash.html <-- before installing PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormhole Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 you mean before installing any blocklist. this article doesnt mention PG once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 What does that have to do with anything? dsorc mentioned PG. PG uses blocklists. The article is targeted at blocklists in general, automatically updated (like with PG) or not. DWK didn't say anything incorrect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Blocklists are only good in BitTorrent for reducing the number of poisoners on "polluted" torrents. It doesn't have to be 100% effective there, because BitTorrent clients will keep retrying a piece till they get it with a good hash result...even if they have to auto-ban EVERY seed and peer to do it!

wormhole Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 The article is targeted at blocklists in generalthats what I said.so why not bringing it up when its about blocklists in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Huh? It was brought up because PG2 uses blocklists. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
