I’ve been hanging out at the Pirate’s Bay forum and finding much to say (pro and con) about PeerGuardian. Someone suggested for users of utorrent to drop the program and use a “good” ipfilter.dat file. Well, in an effort to find a “good” file I stumbled across this.

Supposedly you can use it to download various blacklists, then convert them to files that can be used by PeerGuardian and other IPblockers. Given that I couldn’t begin to figure out how to unblock an incorrectly blocked IP address via utorrent, and I’m already using PG, I’ve decided to give it a try.

It took me a bit of learning, but I managed to figure out how to download sources, create a list for PeerGuardian, and install it, so it should be a piece of cake for the computer savvy. 🙂
