osm0sis Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 well i was just browsing some torrent sites and came upon what's being labeled a "uTorrent IP Filter updater." i don't know if this is legit or not (it's 5x larger than µTorrent ). getting it out of pure intrigue alone, i'll keep you posted.http://www.mininova.org/tor/221839edit: the torrent contains a self-extractor (which uses vas' µT Squared icon, as i'm sure he wasn't aware). It self-extracts to the AppData\uTorrent folder whether you want it to or not, and drops a shortcut to a batch file on your desktop. i'll let the READ_ME.txt included go on:This is for updating the ip filter list in µTorrent.To update the IP Filter, use the desktop shortcut "µpdater"To enable IP filtering in µTorrent, set "ipfilter.enable" to "true" in µTorrent's Advanced Options.To reload ipfilter.dat without restarting µTorrent, simply set ipfilter.enable to false, then to true again.Also you will need to allow wget.exe to access the internet in your firewall rules so it can download the filter list.To change the location to download your ipfilter.dat from, edit"%AppData%\uTorrent\IP filter µpdater.bat" with notepadTo uninstall (but why) just delete these files from %AppData%\uTorrent ssleay32.dll wget.exe IP filter µpdater.bat libeay32.dllchecked out the .bat file. pretty ghetto, but it just backs up the previous version and checks http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/nieuwe_site/Ipfilter_fakes/ipfilter.dat for a newer version. so it does what it says, harmless enough, not really an autoupdater, but i guess it makes it as easy as clicking a shortcut to check for new stuff. edit2: "harmless" assuming that wget doesn't have any unlisted "features" :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Oh god, don't use for anything but what it's intended. Quote works much better (see the scrollbar?). I didn't even know µT had an IP filter. But I think this is legit enough... since most libraries (that is, like what the .bat file and wget needs to work) are written with bloat in mind, it's no surprise that it's 5x bigger than µT itself. But let's get Firon to post his $0.02 first before I go downloading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramonga Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah....I just got this myself......but am kinda unsure as to whether to run it or not?.......LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm0sis Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 don't use for anything but what it's intended.welll sooooorrrryyy! edit: yeah µTorrent has a decently functional ipfilter. drop an ipfilter.dat into the program folder and you're off to the races.. i don't know how good the ipfilter.dat is from that sourceforge site.. i've been using the one from openmedia.info since they optimize theirs for p2p.

kokobaroko Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 will ipfilter.dat from openmedia.info or emulepawcio.sourceforge.net block those fake poisoned seeders/trackers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 No idea on the reliability of that ip blocklist.Sounds like someone learned batch and decided to release shit on mininova to make themselves feel 1337. Bullshit if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 wget is just a standard downloader progie. Dunno what those libraries are, but its just a batch file to download a new .dat file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpio Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi, I recommend scanning your system with some spyware scanner after downloading ipfilter.dat with this uTorrent IP Filter updater - Outpost Firewall Spyware Scanner have found and quarantined a FlashTrack adware in one of those libraries :|I think its better manually download and replace ipfilter.dat rather than use this piece of crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBrat Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Tell me what you see in the ipfilter.dat file it downloads?I thought it contained hardly anything.Anyway I deleted it all.EDIT:Just downloaded the one from the above link and it does contain a list but is it in the right format?000.000.000.000-002.255.255.255,000,Invalid, Not declared003.000.000.000-003.255.255.255,000,General Electric Company004.000.025.146-004.000.025.148,000,s0-0.ciscoseattle.bbnplanet.netI thought it had to be:4.0.25.146 - 4.0.25.148,0 not 004.000.025.146-004.000.025.148,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5parky Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 i'm the person who made this updater, and not just to be 1337 I did it so people could update their block list easily (til uTorrent adds the feature)the dll's should be clean, i got wget from http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/ the official windows version siteAs for the ipfilter.dat, thats the URL used for eMule morphXT, to change the filter used, just like it says in the read_me.txt, edit"%AppData%\uTorrent\IP filter pdater.bat" with notepad BTW Im no programmer but i've been writing batch files since 1985, and since wget is commandline it seemed a piece of cake to whip this up for my own use.it worked so well i thought i'd share it.EDIT: Updated download link uTorrent IP Filter updater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 you can use Blocklist Manger to automatically generate and update your ipfilter.dat files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daT Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 you can use Blocklist Manger to automatically generate and update your ipfilter.dat files.No export to a simple dat file though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 BLM (and Tiny BLM) can export to a format that works with µT Just pick eMule format or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Personally I'd just stick with PG... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Firon is right. That's what i use. Since it's only marginally useful anyway, why bother running peerguardian when the ipfilter.dat will do the same thing with less overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I run PG2 because it uses so little resources (~1.4M), and is less of a headache. Also works on the entire system, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daT Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 BLM (and Tiny BLM) can export to a format that works with µT Just pick eMule format or something...BLM exports to the program, rather than exporting just the file. Now, if 'we' could get BLM to export directly to µtorrent, that would be nice./edit...From B.I.S.S.hey just set blm up to export to emule/donk/ipfilter integration in options / app locations Then browse to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\uTorrent/ipfilter.dat and add that in the box for the location.Then restart µtorrent.There ya go...

r00ted Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I thought µtorrent only recognized the UnPadded list format though, without the , 200 , comments and such.Or does µtorrent just ignore those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Yes. µTorrent ignores the unsupported parts of all entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 All entries are treated as blocks, so don't forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnytoad1 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 with this emule ipfilter.dat, i noticed in µtorrent's log window that my router's ip is being blocked Does this cause a problem for µtorrent (dl, ul, getting sources/peers) or should i not worry about it ?

osm0sis Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 in a related note (since this thread was kinda unnecessarily revived anyway), i've noticed that uTorrent automatically bans your own external ip:port. i find that odd since you wouldn't think that you would ever try to connect to yourself in the swarm and send yourself peices. anyone have any knowledge as to why it needs to do this?

Ultima Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Trackers can send your IP in the peer list, and µTorrent can't tell if it's yourself until it actually connects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamaest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 the updated seems to be OK, but the padding of the file does not seem to be blocking IPs for the same torrent used in Azures. Can anyone else confirm that the unpadded IP list work for them?The fact that utorrent lists a number of lines loaded in the ipfilter.dat file IS NOT ENOUGH. Worst case, one can start downloading a torrent, pick a few solid IPs with good throughput, then edit the ipfilter file to remove these IPs, with and without padding, one at a time. Then see if padding works specifically to block that specific padded or unpadded IP.2 cents,F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
