IP Filtering Not Working with PSP List From BISS

[swticher]

Hi all: I'm wanting to switch from Azureus to uTorrent and the major feature I'm looking for is IP filtering. I've discovered that I can rename the BISS files to ipfilter.dat and put then into ~\Library\Application Support\uTorrent\.

When I use the "nipfilter" or "splist" files from BISS, uTorrent (in the Message Log) states:

Loaded ipfilter.dat (241445 entries).

However, when I use the "psplist" (which is the one I used with Azureus), it always states:

Loaded ipfilter.dat (7 entries).

7 entries???? I can load the file into TextEdit and there are definitely more than 7 lines.

Can anyone tell me if uTorrent supports the "psplist" file? And if so, what I may be doing wrong?

-Thanks in advance

If it's not in the listed format, it's not supported.

But we don't recommend BISS' blocklists because the maintainers are just plain stupid.

Thanks for that. I see the difference.

splist.zip has:

000.000.000.001 - 003.255.255.255 , 000 , Bogon, inv

But psplist.zip has:

Bogon, inv:0.0.0.1-4.127.255.255

I don't know why they have different formats.

If you don't recommend BISS lists, what lists do you recommend?

In all honesty, the only lists that will protect you from ANYTHING will only protect you from known bad-block senders.

Any of the anti-p2p spies will find you with or without the lists.
