DreadWingKnight Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 PG2 blocklist managers need to get their heads out of their asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 PG2 shouldn't block the search engine in the first place. Why does µtorrent have to solve their problems for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_real_catflap Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 contacting them - the real blocklist managers associated with sourceforge and the official PG2 - is the best way to get it removed. they may not be aware if it's included in a string of blocked IP addresses. it's not going to go away on its own. i say "the real" ones because there was a problem last year when some staff of PG2 absconded with the blocklists and messed them up. subsequently, the real owners created reliable blocklists and the old ones should never be used.it also blocks utorrent forum pages, and perhaps the homepages as well.

DreadWingKnight Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 This is a problem with the blocklists, not with us.We don't manage those blocklists and are not responsible for the managers of them blocking us for no legitimate reason.

the_real_catflap Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 did i say it was a problem with utorrent? no, i didn't.i said it's a problem with PG2 blocklists and that they should be made aware of it and be requested to rectify the problem. they do look into these things and they do fix these things - but only when they are made aware of it by admins of affected websites.

Switeck Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 They *ARE* aware of the troubles it causes us. They don't trust µTorrent and won't remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 @the_real_catflap: we advise people to uninstall PG2 to solve the problem. PG2 doesn't nearly offer the protection people think it does. It won't stop those infringement notices, it won't make illegal downloading safe and if a torrent is seriously poisoned it is still undownloadable even if PG2 was able to block the poisoners before µtorrent does it itself (due to hash-check fails). Instead you get problems visiting certain websites and complications like the one you described.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_Guardian Read the criticism part for example.

Firon Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It's been blocked for ages and they've got no interest in removing the block. Nothing we can do.We also don't really care, as PG2 is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
