In this tutorial I aim to help you set up Blocklist Manager so it will update µtorrent for you

You need to get the latest version of Blocklist Manager which you can download from the B.I.S.S forums, the install is straight forward so I will jump a step to the setting up stage.

Hit the sources button this will contact the server and supply you wilt a list of lists so to speak


Hit the options button to enter the setup



Click the same settings as I have here(once you feel more advanced you can change them)



Move on the the sources tab (that we updated by using the sources button) in the options and select the ones that you wish to use



Select the sources that you want from the list

Use the enable all key then the disable key to turn of the ones that you don't want

Let's leave setting personal sources till later as there are a few things needed to do first.

We need to open the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\computer name\Application Data\uTorrent
(This will open the folder that µtorrent stores all its data and settings)

You need to create a new text doc called ipfilter.dat (if you dont have it already, right click>new>text doc>name it ipfilter.dat) once done click on the export tab



You will then see the following screen where you need to point to the ipfilter.dat file in the µtorrent folder



You need to give the export a name, format is eMule/Donk (this is the type of blocklist that µtorrent uses) then browse to the folder(C:\Documents and Settings\computer name\Application Data\uTorrent ) , make sure that the export location active box is checked and click OK.
Blocklist Manager will now be set to auto update µtorrent every time that you click the process tab

Working on a quick guide to add zipptorrent ranges next

thanx a lot m8..

thanks man

im having trouble trying to install this program?

i dont have XP pro? am i doing something wrong here?

guide looks great, to me.

Thanks SP4, this is brilliant.

Thanks SP4, this is great.

good guide mate very helpful and finally got it working :D

cheers nice guide, easy to follow
only 1 dumb question, how do i know if ip filter is blocking ips??

Click the Logger tab, the one after Speed

Many thanks, very useful, and one quick question.

Does this always have the IPs blocked, or is it just when Blocklist Manager is running?

If you use the IPfilter in utorrent then it's always on un less you turn it off in the advance settings, this guide just updates the IPfilter for you

Oh ok, awesome, thanks for your help Sp4!

I did everything u said, and a bigtime thank you for this.
One thing I noticed/ran into is once I do all these steps, when it finishes it says, "Error in mnuFetchBlockLists: Overflow"
is it supposed to say that? If no what should I do to correct this?
ss:

again, thank you for this guide!

for any who had the lil error pop up, I found the answer to my own question:
reboot
"Some people were able to solve this problem simply by rebooting their PC, if that does not resolve the problem, you might have to install Windows Scripting. If you didn't allow is-RO0CE.exe to run, you might have to reinstall the program."

thanks again Sp4!

Good work DragonzPlay

I always think that if you solve a problem yourself then it's a lesson learnt, if you see what i mean

Wow.. thanks a TON. Perfect and working ipfilter.dat auto-update. Seriously i owe u

I've been having error messageswhen trying to use Blocklist Manager to update my ipfilter.dat. The error has to do with failure of level1.txt . Winrar says the zip file on Bluetack is corrupted.

Here's a workaround.

http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.php...oad&f_id=17

Click on I accept.
Right click as the directions say and save the level1.gz file.
Open it with Winrar and extract to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\uTorrent.

Ta! Da! Now you can download and process blacklists by clicking the Process button in Blocklist Manager.

In an ever Darkening world a glimmer of hope that we can fight the man! Thanks for that one as well SP4!

hey mate thanks for this guide works spot on. cheers.

Shortcut for this is going to Start -> Run and paste in

thanks for the tut on doing this :)
Thas been very helpfull to me.

noob proof thx.

cheers brother!!!! this is a message from god i owe you man nice tut

hmm for some reason my ipfilter aint loading,its in the right folder and has the correct file name but when i open utorrent it just doesnt load...anyone any ideas?

utorrent>settings>Advanced>ip filter enable>set to true

that should be set to true as standard but things have been known to go wrong

yeah thats set to true,im buggered if i can figure out whats up with it.possibly time to make the jump to azureus

are you sure that you have added the ipfilter to the correct folder in app data?

Great tutorial, but whenever I use an ipfilter it slows down my dl/ul speed....

yep,did it via the start-run-%AppData%\uTorrent method to make sure

thanks man

thank you.

excellent, thank you. thanks also simms pointing the way here

thanks

Hi
Thanks for guide

I have few questions about this From Source list how many i can choose (I know this is depends ) but for me i dont know anything about this i was in BLM forums too ..or i can select all without any problem...
This all source together they created pipfilter (Paranoid) ??
And lastly If i do this(Follow your Instructions exact )with BLM thn this will update automatically ipfilter i dont need to update manually ???
Any suggestions.........

you can choose them all if your a bit paranoid then do, i do and as yet have not had a problem that i have noticed although this is no guarantee.

it will update automatically if you set it to in options, i do mine manually once a week, but its down to choice.

i am not sure what you mean by "This source together they created pipfilter (paranoid)??

thanks.......

In bluetack.co.uk they have one list or filter thats called pipfilter(Paranoid)..i just wonder if i choose all source this will be same like that !!!

and if i manually update thn ineed to follow this same procedure everytime right !!

And lastly if i dont think this not working for me thn i need to delete only ipfilter from utorrent nothing else..or...

I suppose you could say the paranoid filter would be checking all sources to yes, when you manually update you only need to launch the program in this case BLM click process, wait for it to complete connection dependent could take 1 minuter could take 20 minutes, when it completes click export, if you have set up correctly then it automatically overwrite ipfilter.dat in utorrent. If you dont like it or change your mind and you delete ipfilter from utorrent you would not be blocking any ip's, and would just need to uninstall BLM.


I hope that helps a little

thanks again just one more i think im annonoying u but if i wants to use th its better to know it clearly first ...

If i setup auto update...thn how do i know if ipfilter correctly updated or not

I couldnt say for sure but it "BLM" should tell you there was a problem, you are not annoying me either, just send cheesy snacks to this address

Thanks man

thanx buddy another good DS'er pointed me here

Thank you so much for spending your time and effort into putting this together. I truly appreciate it.

Thank you very much for this guide. Very useful.

However, I did encountered some small problems.

1st. Creating the ipfilter.dat file. First I did it the way you described it. Where I was afraid of happened in this Vista notebook I have, it created an ipfilter.dat.txt file. I suppose that's not what you meant?
So I opened cmd to change the name from ipfilter.dat.txt tp ipfilter.dat . Removed the wrong export, added the correct export. And then ......

2nd.
...I got this screen:



Yes I can read the message, am I really that unlucky that the URL is unavailable and that the zip is empty ?? I did my home work and read the complete topic, did a restart, did what Norton wrote, but still got that message.

Could somebody help me out?

Installed on Laptop with Vista on it and i am getting the same error, i think it may be Vista + the AV we use

What Anti Virus you using Dugudugu

I checked with their forum and my dual boot XP and its the web site that hosts the list, some work some dont. You will have to experiment to find the correct ones at the moment i have DSheild Recomended, L1, L2, Master, Proxy List and spyware and it updates fine.

There site has been a bit wonky for sometime and they stopped updating for a while also.

There is a way to use another sites sources file let me dig it up

Great!
I'll wait.

Btw, Yes I have Vista, I use Eset NOD32.

Thank you

Works like a dream

Tight Lines

cheers mate

Thnkx a lot mate..in Vista/Win7 you need to run BLM as admin for it to work correctly.

Did this ever get resolved? I am having the same issue, would love some support on it.
