ButtonMan Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 ive downloaded nipfilter.dat.gz, and placed it into utorrent folder %AppData%\uTorrentFirstly, is this a good thing to do? ive heard about the anti-p2p with bad IPs and fake information and this is meant to help block them? And are these bad IPs the ones with 100% usage in the peers tab?Ip filter is enabled on the advanced settings but nothing has come up in the logger from any torrentswhat else do i need to do?thanks!

moogly Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just read the FAQ link I provided, all is explained.uT uses ONLY .dat files, whatever these other websites distribute as ipfilter lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 You must rename the file to ipfilter.dat -- nothing less, nothing more!Chances are, your blocklist is hopelessly long and blocking a LOT more than should be blocked.IP ranges I recommend blocking:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=46221...You may find others on your own.Right-click INSIDE the Peers window of a torrent, that should pop up the menu moogly is talking about. You may also want to disable Resolve IPs, so you can see the real ips of peers/seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
