Sequential Ip addresses during torrenting, could some1 tell me what

Hi, could anyone please take a look at this link below and tell me what exact IP or IP ranges should i put in "ipfilter" ?

http://forum.mininova.org/index.php?showtopic=235020865&hl=

38.100.0.0-38.100.255.255

The range is a known poisoning range.

Thanks, but what about 208.10.23.18 and 209.66.117.66 it also used the same client and it looked fishy anyway!

And btw, in ipfilter, should i place the ip ranges like this (xx - yy) or (xx-yy) ?????

And with space after each line or not?

Don't know about those ranges, but that'd be a very large range to ban.

With several of the various monitoring companies going bankrupt/closing their doors/getting bought-out, this entire blocklist is out-of-date and of questionable value AT BEST!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Those are hostile ips, probably MediaSentry and MediaDefender.

Abovenet Communications, Inc NETBLK-ABOVENET2 (NET-209-66-64-0-1)

209.66.64.0-209.66.127.255

MediaSentry ABOV-T694-209-66-117-0-24 (NET-209-66-117-0-1)

209.66.117.0-209.66.117.255

MediaSentry is definitely hostile.

Abovenet Communications, Inc is just the ISP company that hosts them.

Blocking all of Abovenet would probably be overkill.

193.105.197.0-193.105.197.255

It's pretty obvious from the numerous reports concerning these ip ranges that those Azureus client versions are just a bunch of hostiles.

So all in all, I recommend blocking these ranges:

0.0.0.0-0.255.255.255

225.0.0.0-255.255.255.255

38.96.0.0-38.119.255.255

I know the first 38 block range is huge, but quite frankly Cogent isn't file-sharing friendly. Really, blocking ALL of 38.0.0.0-38.255.255.255 isn't totally out of line.

There's probably far more out there, but blocking is only marginally effective for fighting poisoners.

Blocking is WORTHLESS for hiding your ip from their monitoring...they get your ip from the trackers you're on.

I use aggressive IP banning and rangeblocks settings and then complete the torrent download and seed as fast as I can but they usually succeed in killing the swarm.

Recently a simple solution: Peerguardian

Bluetack's lists (the ones peerguardian users typically use) have been recently reported as funneling users into anti-p2p IP ranges.

I make sure I don't have hashfails. Monitor my torrents all the time. Log blocked connections. One that do connect will go in ipfilter.dat

Blanket-adding EVERY ip that supposedly caused you a hash error will end up banning both peers+seeds that NEVER sent bad data...and those that sent bad data only once out of potentially GB's of traffic!

So all in all, I recommend blocking these ranges

WOW, thanks a million for sharing your list , this is the answer i was looking for , thanks to everyone who participate in this thread too.

Speaking of PG2, it does nothing but slowing down your pc, IMO, in addition to those inaccurate lists !! why do people still insist on using it?? i don't know !!

People who know how to use the software will insist on using it because there are a lot of thing you can do with it that people who don't know how to use it will not know.

Use it once and read the documentation!

If you want to filter peers, use ipfilter.dat No extra program running, possibly interrupting your connections. From within uTorrent the peers aren't given access or connected to. http://utorrent.com/faq.php#What_is_ipfilter.dat.3F
