l2k Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'm trying to finish some torrents off, but the seeders have added my IP to their ipfilter, so I need to use a proxy. By the way there is no tracker involved here.When I try connecting to these seeders directly without proxy set up, it won't go.When I set proxy with the last box checked "peer communication through proxy", I can establish connection and start leeching.When I turn off the proxy, it keeps going like nothing changed. Is it still using the proxy? Was it not transferring data through the proxy at all? Or does ipfiltering not check for such a thing when requests start coming from a different IP?Any explanations or informations to help me will be much appreciated.

Firon Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Incoming connections don't go through the proxy. If they get your IP (which they can through several methods), they will connect to you directly and these will naturally keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2k Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hmm... so ipfilter only stops me from connecting to them, but if I connect to them with a proxy, then their ipfilter doesn't stop them from transmitting data to me?Cool.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 The seeders' ipfilter.dat should block you whether they're connecting to you or you to them *IF* you're using your regular ip instead of the proxy ip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2k Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I guess I read it wrong, when I connect to them then I guess the data is all going through the proxy (?). But it still raises the question why, when I turn off or change the proxy, there is no stopping or change in the data transfer speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Are you really sure they're banning your ip using ipfilter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2k Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Well the people running this (tiny) tracker hate me and I stole their torrent files & IPs and they told all their members to ban my (static) IP in client. I can only assume they gave instructions how to use ipfilter. Some people clearly didn't do it as I could connect to them normally. Others when I add their IP, nothing ever happens. But when I set a sock5 proxy magically they will start connecting and seeding for me.There could be another explanation, I don't know all the details, I just found it peculiar.

Switeck Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Some may not be blocking you. And once you did a tracker update via the proxy, uTorrent keeps that info till reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2k Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 As I said no tracker involved here (I have no passkey, just some IPs), but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
