Utorrent where is ipfilter.dat

One of the ways they are trying to disrupt torrent downloads is by polluting the torrent network with fake peers. The amount of wasted data could run into tens or even hundreds of Megabytes per torrent and taking your files much longer to complete the download.

There is another and more serious downside in being connected to one of these fake peers. And that is, unless you take precautions such as hiding your real IP address using a Virtual Private Network VPN or using a third party service such as Boxopus to download it for you, once the connection has been established, your Internet address has been identified and logged. Luckily there are a few ways you can get round this and almost completely stop anti P2P organizations, Government organizations, or law enforcement agencies from connecting to your torrents!

Unfortunately, one of the best sources for these blacklists is Bluetack, the people behind the Azureus BT client, but they have made their lists available ONLY if you donate and subscribe to their forum. There is still an easy way to get a blacklist by downloading and installing IPFilter Updater.

Click Go and let it download from the default mirror I-Blocklist. Last edited: Jan 17, DonkyBoY , Jan 16, Awesome stuff but I made a small update. I made changes so to check that new incoming ipfilter. I also added this as a task in task scheduler to run nightly as well. Here is my modified batch file. Let me know what you think!

Also included is tracker1's appdata directory fix so that nobody needs to edit the script to get it working. If you have used the previous files, remove the old ipfilter. I also recommend setting up task scheduler to automatically run the script weekly or daily. DreadWingKnight Posted January 21, If there is another procedure to save as a plain text, kindly advise as to how it is done.

I entered the IPs and clicked save as "ipfilter. It has been quite a learning curve for me. Thank you so much for your explanations, guidance and responsiveness DreadWingKnight. Take care. Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. Also I have PeerBlock running on my system.

Is there any value in running both ipfilter and peer block. Save ipfilter. Where is the best place to get an ipfilter. Or should I generate on using BLM? Also, why do you suggest the Peer blocker might not be of any use?
