u IP-Filter with AutoUpdater and Installation Instructions. Open Source

Description:

This IPFilter is a list of filtered IP addresses that are known for supporting anti p2p organizations. This list is

given out for free from sourceforge.net. I'm just providing the dat file in combination with the vbs file that will

automatically update it for you. These two files are the ONLY two files you need in combination with uTorrent.

The ipfilter.vbs file will update and notify you that update has completed. Here is the VBS source:




Included Files:

ipfilter.dat - This is the data file for all the blacklisted IP addresses.
ipfilter.vbs - This is simply a script to execute the updating process of the IP addresses.

You can add the "txt" extension to both of these files to verify the file contents and actions. Just be sure to

remove the txt extension before using them.








Utorrent Installation Procedure:

Navigate to your default application data folder for uTorrent (WinXP is C:\Documents and

Settings\****\Application Data\uTorrent) and copy "ipfilter.dat" and "ipfilter.vbs" into this folder.

Now just decide how you would like to go about updating your dat file (which is why I've created the VBS file

for you.) Your options are:

1. Add the ipfilter.vbs file to your startup folder so that it will execute each reboot

2. Add the ipfilter.vbs file to a Windows Scheduled Task so that it launches as often as you would like.

3. Just leave a shortcut to ipfilter.vbs on your desktop so you can launch and update the ipfilter.dat file

manually.

4. Do something else that I couldn't have predicted here.



I could have just provided you with a batch file instead of a VBS file but I prefer being notified when the

download completes without that annoying MSDOS black box staying on my screen or stealing my focus.


Some paranoid people may want the source to this VBS file posted before they download and while I may not agree, I can passify. So, here it is:
