Wa7idminuae Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hello Everyone,I have searched the forums for general info about the Ipfilter.dat option in µtorrent but people were talking about advanced features of it recently, so i have some simple questions regarding the matter; Here goes :1 - I think that the Ipfilter.dat is the file where µtorrent keeps the auto-banned Ip addresses if they keep sending hashfails or so ? Does µtorrent ban them Permanently ?2 - How do i clear the file from the Ip addresses ?3- Where is it located ( is it hidden under my user files ) so i can view it maybe ?4- µtorrent notifies if it has banned certain ips in the logger, is that correct ? I guess that's about it for now, Thank you in advance people .Regards ,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 1. No it's just the IPs you want to block for various reasons (peers with bitvomit clients, firms like MediaDefender etc...).uT doesn't add IP automatically, you need to add the IP manually. It's not permanent if you delete the blocked IP from the file.2. Open the .dat and erase the contents (use notepad eg)3. in %appdata%\utorrent with the other .dat files. Create it yourself if ipfilter.dat is not present.4. Yes. Enable notification in logger: peer traffic logging > Log blocked connections.Ex: [2009-01-22 16:22:51] IpFilter blocked peer 64.125.152.58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa7idminuae Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Alright thank you , but i couldn't locate the IpFilter.dat along with the other hidden folders of µtorrent, does it mean it doesn't exist and i have to create it myself ?

moogly Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 By default uT is installed without ipfilter.dat in %appdata%\utorrentYou have to add yours with the IP you want to block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa7idminuae Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Alright, i also enabled the logger for blocked connections but when it blocks the Ips does it save them anywhere ?And why are they in hidden folders, anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 No, just displayed in the logger you can save if you want.There is no hidden files or folders with uT. There is utorrent.exe in Program Files and your settings/.torrent by default in %appdata%\utorrent.ipfilter, skin files, flag files etc.. are in this folder, but it's not hidden. Type %appdata%\utorrent in you Win Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
