µTorrent IP Filter

[fstrulz]

Is it still necessary to use an IP Filter for your BitTorrent client, such as µTorrent, to block Anti-P2P Organizations' (who are polluting P2P networks with fake peers, which send out fake or corrupt data in order to waste bandwidth and slow down file transfers) IPs?

Or do private trackers automatically block/filter those IPs for us?

:rolleyes:

You won't find Anti-P2P organizations on good private trackers.. (if not all private trackers..)

better be safe then sorry! Those Anti-P2P organizations could be infiltrating private trackers and spying on their users. So an ipfilter wouldn't do you any harm! It even could even help you prevent to upload to a client of those organizations so they can't built a case against you!

Thanks for the comments...

But do private trackers really filter IPs from RIAA, MPAA and other Anti-P2P Organizations - FOR US SO WE DON'T NEED TO USE AN IP FILTER FOR OUR BITTORRENT CLIENTS?

that I don't know! But I don't think that is really relevant. Everybody can infiltrate a tracker if they want to. Offer a seedbox or whatever.. even private trackers are not secure.....
