KTorrent - is there an easy way to manage multiple blocklists?

I haven’t been using KTorrent that much lately, so it was only today that I’ve noticed the Bluetack filter I used, pipfilter.dat.gz, is no more.

pipfilter was nothing more than most (if not all) of the other Bluetack filters put together in a single list, so I should be able to generate my own paranoid filter by aggregating the IPs from all their currently available lists. I know BISS’ Blocklist Manager is supposed to do this, but they only have a Windows version. Another option would be using PeerBlock, but I didn’t like their interface very much the last time I tried it out.

Is there a way to quickly combine all the lists and then upload that output to KTorrent? Or maybe make KTorrent accept multiple blocklists at once?

You can checkout this page to get variety of lists

Hi, vazhavandan.

Thanks, I had that that link. My point is - is there an easy/quick way to aggregate multiple lists into one? KTorrent, IP filter plugin seems to require a single file.

It appears that this blocklist manager you speak does run on wine. would tat interest you?
WineHQ - Blocklist Manager
I also noticed something interesting. When i use transmission i can load lists one by one and automatically appends the data from the lists.

AFAIK all the blocklists now use a standard text format so you can simply download several and concatenate them as one.

@vazhavandan:

Nah, if I have to use wine for something like this, I might as well forget about it :slight_smile: I might give Transmission a go, though. Thanks!

Well, I guess I’ll have to put some of those basic Python skills I’ve been learning at Code Academy at work then!
