ATTENTION! We DO NOT provide support for installing, configuring and using Blocklist Manager or any of the IP-blocking programs, so please, do not ask questions related to that into the BitComet forums. Any of those applications can use the up-to-date lists exported by Blocklist Manager, which offers the choice of converting/exporting its downloaded IP list array into over 20 different formats, so that it can fit most IP-blocking programs' formats, out there. Also a list of recommended IP-blocking applications (PeerGuardian included) you may find on their page: Best P2P IP Filtering Programs List. Or as a more versatile workaround or alternative solution you can go to the Bluetack site and download their Blocklist Manager application which is a very versatile an complete solution for automatically downloading and combining their multiple lists which are frequently updated. PG should update from them, its IP lists automatically. You can instead activate the Bluetack lists which are provided with PeerGuardian as an alternative to the default lists of PeerGuardian. RECENT NOTE: PeerGuardian's default lists don't seem to be updated (or even accessible, on a random basis) lately. However, whenever you use Peerguardian or Protowall alongside any P2P applications, be aware that if you configure it improperly, it may limit your download capability, especially for torrents that have peers in some of the ranges you might have chosen to block (such as educational institutions - university campuses). The most that it can do is limit the amount of rubbish data being passed through to your torrent client. A lot of users are under the general false idea that some programs are able to block all rubbish data or conceal them on the P2P networks we can assure you that this is not true. A reminder to users: This program does not guarantee that you will receive nil rubbish data, or that you'll be “protected” from governmental agencies trying to obtain your IP address. This may reduce, in some cases, the amount of garbage data you get, by refusing connections to some IPs known to interfere with P2P downloading. Allow PeerGuardian to run every time your BitComet client is functioning. However using this type of programme is not exactly instinctive and anyone who wants to take full advantage of it may find that they need to spend a little bit of time playing around with it before they can use it to full effect.The only solution, so far, to this problem is to download an IP-blocking program (such as Peer Guardian: ).ĭownload and install the client, and when it comes to the screen of 'Updates' click on the check-boxes: Government, P2P, Ads.
