gordoncanada Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 All he asked for is a link. Don't you at utorrent think blocklists are a good idea?The link I use ishttp://blocklistpro.com/download-center/ip-filters/I download nipfilter.dat.gz and install it in %AppData%\uTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Don't you at utorrent think blocklists are a good idea?Actually, no we don't.All they do is cut off large chunks of the internet as potential sources of pieces AND funnel you into anti-p2p groups' monitoring systems.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Because they largely don't use ranges that are actually on the blocklists. They use ones that are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deserteagle2525 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Because they largely don't use ranges that are actually on the blocklists. They use ones that are allowed.Wait, really?Let's do some sleuthing shall we?Opening up the ipfilter.dat file brings up a listing of IP ranges... So let's see if your hypothesis that this is an allow only list is true. Browsing through this list, there's a listing for Rockstar Games. Producer of such games like Grand Theft Auto and L.A. Noire. Being a big name game studio I'm sure they at least don't look too friendly upon illegal torrents.The list specifies the ranges of 069.010.069.000-069.010.069.255. So let's see if this is a correct range for Rockstar Games.http://whois.domaintools.com/69.10.69.0So, maybe you're still right and they're allowing connections to Rockstar Games, but! It's not the lists fault, I hardly see a reason why uTorrent would only allow connections in ipfilter.dat.I will do more investigating later.

DreadWingKnight Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 That means nothing. Most anti-p2p groups fly under the radar using residential connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
