Peerguardian 2 is unfortunately old news. Peerblock picks up where it left off and has done a wonderful job imo. Supports Vista and W7 x64 too!!

In these cases, some would say that a private torrent site like torrentleech may help, as you need to be a member in order to download. What are chances MPAA or BSA or other has a torrentleech account? :0

for vista and windows 7 you should use PeerBlock. It’s the same program but is updated and is digitally signed.

Lose that giant .log file by creating a text doc on your desktop > save as: (whatever it’s called).log > paste it into the Program File folder > replace it when asked. Opening and deleting the body/text is often not an option due to the sheer size of these monsters.

I’ve used PG in concert with Protowall for years now (I also utilize BLM & now Peerblock)with stellar results. PG is great at stopping outbound packets, while PW is much better at blocking inbound.

Learn to configure your firewall properly, incorporate block lists when applicable, get behind a router (hard-firewall) if not already, keep those lists up to date.

Also, if you’re having trouble running any of these in Vista – try to run in “compatibility mode” it will often help.

It works with Vista 64bit, you just got to google a few things. I have Vista 64bit and PG2, Vista likes to disable not digitally signed drivers.

Yeah it doesn’t do any good if the 3rd party say, FOX intentionally releases a movie like say, Wolverine working print and then sits on the torren themselves to get IP’s so they can sue and make millions and still get killer ticket sales because of all the publicity. They are just collecting IP’s by the hundreds of thousands. Well that’s my theory anyway.

But yeah they can get IP’s simply by downloading the torrent themselves.

Further… If u think about it all the IP addresses are logged in torrent announce window for all to see. Companies don’t have to worry about blocked IP addresses all they have to do is sit in a active torrent and write down all the IP addresses that leech.
