Robbbert Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just wondering...I don't know if this question is allowed, although I haven't seen a rule against it...Does there exist a list of IP addresses of Torrent polluters? That is, people or trackers which exist soley to sent out corrupt or altered data, such as what Media Defender does?If there exists such a list, can I have a copy?Thanks if you can help.

Ultima Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The most notorious ones are somewhere in the 38.x.x.x range, but unfortunately, I can't remember the exact limits. There are several other major ones (and definitely lots of other small or less common ranges), but 38.x.x.x always sticks out in my memory.

Firon Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's not really 38.0.0.0/8, but there's enough ranges in it that it's just easier to block the entire /8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbbert Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks for that.I turned on Logging of Errors. Anyone listed as providing Bad data (I can't remember the exact wording) I added to the ipfilter. Also I set the Ban level to 1, and while heaps of people got banned, I did get what I wanted in the end.btw, when the client bans someone, is there any way to see who it banned? (besides the log that is)?Does it remember it next time I start uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 No, if you restart ut those bans are gone.1.8 will have a much better banning method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbbert Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I look forward to that.My first ever client was Azureus 2.2.0.2, so old it didn't have DHT or Encryption, but from what I recall, the system of bans, and ip bans was very easy and straightforward. No need to edit files!Hopefully 1.8 will have something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 We're not going to implement manual banning (the ipfilter will stay), but we changed the ban method to basically be Azureus's (with their help). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbbert Posted October 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Sounds good to me. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Oh, and to explain why it was changed, it was to more effectively find WHO is sending you bad data and ban them, instead of a ton of legitimate peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 On the reverse side, maybe a little more can be done to ensure that µTorrent gets out completed pieces to peers...it really sucks on 4 MB piece torrents to be jumping around who you're uploading to.
