Switeck Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You can block ips and ip ranges using µTorrent's ipfilter.dat file. The FAQ tells about it.You can use Peer Guardian 2 with µTorrent, but since µTorrent can already block ips...it will run faster if you don't.

arrirc Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thank you Switeck. Could you please tell me from where I can get ipfilter.dat to be used with µTorrent? Does PG2 already contain this file? In that case I can just put the copy of that file in the App Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 You get the ip blocklists for µTorrent the same place you'd get Peer Guardian's blocklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrirc Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi SwiteckPG2 automatically downloads its list [or I think so]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Yes, it can.However what do you think acts quicker?:1.Peer Guardian which has to intercept ip calls by µTorrent and block them2.µTorrent checking ips against its blocklist and not making an ip connection if a match is found(that applies to outgoing)But for incoming, Peer Guardian should be able to intercept half-open incoming connections the same as µTorrent.

arrirc Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yes, it can.Thats my point too. So how am supposed to know from which address PG2 is exactly downloading its list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Read its FAQ!I think it gets its blocklist/s from Bluetack. But that's not associated directly with µTorrent, so I don't know if the Bluetack blocklists are directly compatible without conversion with µTorrent.

arrirc Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 HelloSorry to dig up this old thread, but I would appreciate if some one could tell me how can I convert the block list of PG2 to a format recognizable by µTorrent, so that I do not have to use third party solutions like PG2, and as Switeck pointed, it will make µTorrent to run faster.

Invy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I believe the blocklist that PG2 uses is encrypted and unreadable by utorrent. The format has to be in x.x.x.x-y.y.y.y as the FAQ says.Anyways... can someone show me a good ipfilter.dat to download? Thanks.I found one on emule's site but i'm not sure if it's the best or not.

Switeck Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 The files aren't encrypted, they're just BACKWARDS...here's a line from it:PSI FAKES PHOTOBKT Split, Toronto District School Board, Insurance Bureau of:38.116.160.0-38.119.204.63Note the actual ip range comes AFTER the : ...but µTorrent wants the ip first, and I don't know if it's too "happy" to see anything after it.

Firon Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Use Blocklist Manager and convert into an emule compatible format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invy Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Ahh.. I must have been looking at the wrong file because when I opened it it was all gibberish. Thanks for clearing that up Switeck.And thx Firon for the suggestion, i'll try that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
