BITTORENT AND µTORRENT/Some IPs Blocked in Sourceforge p2p/BT's Level 1 list
***BITTORENT AND µTORRENT HAVE MERGED/Some IPs Are Now Blocked in Sourceforge p2p/BT's Level 1 list***
If you are having trouble with either of these p2p apps it may be because Bluetack has decided to block both in their Level 1 list (which is the same list as our Sourceforge p2p list). After polling the members at BT, the results were an overwhelming "Block them in Level 1". You can read this thread at BT for comments/reasons why: http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/ind...=0&#entry77182 You now have a choice to make. 1. Stop using Bittorent/µTorrent. 2. Permanently Allow the IPs/ IP Ranges that may be blocked as they appear in the PG2 Protection Window. If you choose Option 2, please remember that there are serious questions (especially now) as to the safety (yours) when using either of these p2p apps. Now is the time to do your homework to find out all you can about these two apps and the current situation. Please base your decision on Facts rather than Hearsay as you decide (for yourself) whether or not they are safe to use. Remember that Google/Wiki are our friends, USE THEM. Most of the IPs blocked at BT are already in the Sourceforge p2p/BT Level 1 list, but some are going to BT's Level 3 list. These IPs will be fined-tuned over time. The IPs that BT has blocked and will block in the future WILL NOT make µTorrent useless. They will block maybe DHT (which I feel should be turned off anyway), feedback to the µTorrent Servers for development purposes, and sites they own. I think all should take a look at these links to four threads here at Phoenix labs: http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/showth...5356#post95356 µTorrent and BitTorrent Join Forces http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/t12907...must-read.html **All Utorrent Users Must Read*** http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/t12975...-anti-p2p.html UTORRENT BLOCKED BY SwifticAB Anti P2p? http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/showthread.php?t=13006 Utorrent not running, firewall shows uploading There have been serious concerns (for some people) about using µTorrent since the Peer Factor thing happened (Google/Wiki for info on this) plus the fact that the app is closed source. Now that ludde (µTorrent dev) has sold out to Bittorent, the question becomes, Why can't µTorrent be open source now, What are they hiding? Keep up with the first link I posted (Poll at BT) for more info. Comments can be made on this here: http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/showth...5410#post95410 Thanks,
