ipfilter.dat - feature to show that it was loaded

[floodo1]

i suppose im being paranoid, but is it possible to somehow show within utorrent that the ipfilter.dat file is loaded succesfully? maybe under advanced options something like:

"ipfilter.dat: xxxx lines loaded"

thanks

It shows this in the log window already.

I have ipfilter.dat in my utorrent folder, I dont see that in the log window....am I not doing something that I should? I restarted and checked the log window, of should I place ipfilter in its own folder?

Perheps you need to activate the log first. Haven't checked it myself.

Right click anywhere inside the logger, Log peer traffic or verbose.

From the FAQ

Q. How does IP filtering work?

µTorrent 1.1.5 (or later) support IP filtering through an ipfilter.dat file placed in the application directory. Note that ipfiltering is usually NOT necessary. It is NOT a proper method for engaging in secure peer-to-peer. The format of this file should be compatible with eMule-style ipfilter.dat and contains IP ranges on each line like so:

5.6.7.8 - 5.6.7.10

i cant see if its loaded in my log window??.. Its placed in utorrents program dir.. in my case C:Program Filesutorrentipfilter.dat!

ive enabled verbose logging and still nada..

:: edit ::

utorrent.exe is using about 8Mb of RAM.. so it seems to be loaded! or.. ?

Maybe it's supposed to be in "Application data" directory? You know, where settings and stuff is saved.

nope.. still the same!

actually it doesnt. i have the file both in the "application directory" (where the exe is located), and in my application data directory (with resume.dat and settings.dat) and in both cases the only thing that shows up in the log (with verbose on) at startup is utorrent initializing.

please advise

[floodo1]

bump, someone help me!!

Can someone with a working ipfilter.dat please post either a link to it or a c&p of exactly what the format of the file is like because I can not get this working at the moment.

[ludde]

OK ipfilter is not working because the setting is by default disabled, and i never added a checkbox to enable ipfilter..

At least the cause has been found.

If you feel comfortable with hex editing bencoded files, you could edit settings.dat and insert ipfilter=1.. it would look something like:

8:ipfilteri1e

I tried for a few mins.. seemed way to hard! Thanks though..

[SledgeDG]

It's fairly easy even though generally one shgouldn't edit compiled files

and of course...as a catch I get an utorrent-crash message everytime I exit utorrent...so I just wait for the next version WITH the checkbox

OK..here goes...use your editor and open settings.dat (make sure you have a backup somewhere..just in case)

if you're in ASCII Mode go right after "d7:bind_ip0:" and insert the posted string "8:ipfilteri1e"

or in HEX Mode (make sure you INSERT and not overwrite!!)

after

64 37 3A 62 69 6E 64 5F 69 70 30 3A

it"s right at the file's start

insert

38 3A 69 70 66 69 6C 74 65 72 69 31 65

that'll do the trick
