nessus Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 I am a member of a specialist invite only tracker, which relies on the goodwill, courteous behaviour, and reciprocation.As with most things that a voluntary that require feedback and time, there are always a few that technically do not break the rules but ignore the "spirit " of the community. Is there anyone who knows of a way of blocking individual IP addresses without impairing the functions of utorrent?I have tried peer guardian and peer block, these have a deleterious effect on µTorrent . I would appreciate any advice on this agitating issueNessus
moogly Posted March 1, 2011 Report Posted March 1, 2011 ipfilter.dat in %appdata%\utorrent then enable it in the Peers tab.
nessus Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 Great. Could someone be more explanatory regarding the actual process? Alternatively, give e a link to a tutorialNessus
moogly Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Press F1 in µT and search "ipfilter" in the user guide.
nessus Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Thank you. It worked and I was able to block the offending Leecher. I then mailed him asking him to change his ways. I got no reply and assumed that was it. However he has connected again what I thought was a different IP address. I went through the procedure again, but when I attempted to put in the utorrent-roaming folder, it was rejected. I ended up deleting the torrent as he is taking up 90% of my bandwidth and about the same amount of data. Any ideas to how I can block him permanently
moogly Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 If his IP is dynamic and changes regularly, you can't.
eus en nog wat Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 why don't you just put an uploadlimit on the file?other question. Does the ip filter help against these kind of tricks?85.17.79.51:30094 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.0 uI85.17.79.52:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.53:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.54:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.55:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.56:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.57:0 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.085.17.79.58:30107 [FAKE]uTorrent/1.8.2.0
moogly Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Yes, it works. But in your case, you are dealing with a torrent poisoner using a BT client farm.

Please tell me how. I suspect he is using a seed box because of the large amount of data he is uploading. In addition, I have been monitoring him the stats being displayed from torrents he leeches off are always a ratio 1. This is incorrect as I calculated he had uploaded over 5gig from a 1.54 gig torrent I seeded add to that his download of 1.54 gig and his ratio is well over 3 yet it reads as 1.I am seeding now and he has taken over 90% of my bandwidth. He is not even displaying an IP address, because when you click the resolve ip the numbers remain the same 1.64.39.78, then static navigator.com, the client is Xunlei/0.1.0.0 port 119. The other puzzling aspect is, he has always shown up as connectable, and so his must have forwarded his ports, which requires a static IP address? . Any theories, from the info given as I have a backlog of boxing fights to upload and lots of them are personal requests , which I have invested a great deal of time encoding , capping and altering the formats .Ironic I create 3 to 4 torrents per week m, which is on average 8/10 gig yet he benefits more in terms of ratio; on the positive side I create a lot of goodwill and respect.Yours hopefully Nessus
nweissma Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Hello Nessus,my symptoms were almost identical to yours, but my opponent was drawing effectively all of my 700kB/s ul; the uT admin solution was to enter the offending IP into the IPfilter and that seems to have done the trick (but i wonder whether he appeared in other guises, such as re-appearing as two IP's). your opponent seems more resourceful. just curious how it turned out for you. (most of the technical terms that you used are unknown to me, btw)
