This is the letter I got from my isp yesterday shortly after my internet was disabled, it has been turned back on after I had to swear never to share this file again, I know that it is very easy to see peoples IP adresses on Bittorrent but how could I stop this from happening in the future?

Maybe you could, you know, stop using BitTorrent for popular & illegal stuff, and maybe use something that doesn't tell the world what you're doing?

You could use a proxy program with you BT client, can't think of one at the moment but I'm sure someone can make a suggestion...

a firewall just protects you from random hackers to have access to your computer & you gave your BT client access (as you should if you want to download) but, you should import the bad ip list in for maximum effectiveness, at the very least have pg running, but its always better to have it block ip's at the firewall level

these problems always trace back to the person not being totaled prepared

Can anyone confirm if this will actually work...

Quote:

Introduction
This document describes how to get BT to work through an HTTP Proxy. Please note that this will only tunnel tracker communication through a proxy server, not the transfers themselves. This will work with burst!, and both the Official and the Experimental clients (I don't know about BT++, I don't use it).

For more information on the topic of proxies, including how to get things to work with an NTLM-authenticating proxy, see Brian Dessent's excellent BTFaq

Be sure to read below if you are behind a Coporate Firewall

Windows 2000/XP
Open "Control Panel"
Double Click "System"
Click the "Advanced" tab
Click on "Enviroment Variables"
Under "System Variables", click New
Set Variable Name to http_proxy
Set Variable Value to "http://user:pass@proxyip:port" (without the quotes; substitute your values in where appropriate)
Click OK, OK, OK

You may or may not have to reboot before settings take effect.

Windows 95/98/ME
Click on Start then Run
Type in "msconfig" without the quotes, click OK
Select the "Autoexec.bat" tab
Click on "New"
Type in "SET http_proxy=http://user:pass@proxyip:port" (without the quotes; substitute your values in where appropriate)
Click OK, OK

You WILL have to reboot before this setting takes effect.

Here ya go...

finalized zapro 4 xml instructions:

if you don't have xmlspy dl http://www.xmlspy.com/download_spy_home.html

you're going to want to click settings> folder options> view and uncheck hide file extensions for known file types-
the reason is that you'll be changing xml files to text and vice versa (easy- just rename with .txt instead of .xml etc)

1. First you need to backup your current zone alarm settings, which will create a file in the xml format.
To do this, go to: Overview=> Preferences=> and click the backup button. Call the file backup.
the file will now be saved as ‘backup.xml’ in the location where you saved it, by default it saves in my documents.

2. Copy the zone alarm pro xml dump from this site.
Here is the link:http://methlab.tech.nu/pg2zap.asp (it is up to date and includes the thumbs up ranges)
EDIT: Go To http://xs.tech.nu/. Look for "Blocklists have been updated (PG/ZA/Sygate/Plain)" at the top middle

3. Then copy the list from the above link and then go to this site:
www.bluetack.co.uk and click on Security Blocklist Converter . select convert from: zone alarm to zone alarm.
It will organize the information in a such a way that its easier to see where to remove the unwanted stuff,
but that comes later on.

4. Then open your backup.xml in notepad. Browse the file and you should come to point where it looks like this:
CODE

<file extension="MHT" active="true" description="Web Archive File"/>
</quarantine>
</attachments>
<outboundMail ompEnabled="true" mailEnabled="true" maxMailSent="5" recipientEnabled="true" maxRecipients="50" interval="2" senderEnabled="false" authorizedSenders="******@***.com"/>
</email>
<firewall>
<expert>
<groups> </groups> <rules>
<execute action="drop"/>
<source>

</source>
</rule>

</rules>
</expert>
</firewall>
<zones>
<trusted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
</trusted>
<restricted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
!!!!!!!PASTE THE FILE FROM BLUETACK HERE!!!!!
(please note you may already have ips listed here so just paste the data after the last ip entry

5. Then paste the zone alarm pro dump from the bluetack.co.uk site after its been converted
(important note- only copy and paste the ip data and NOT the following:
before: <zones><restricted clearOldEntries="false" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
and after: </restricted></zones>
and paste it under the highlighted area.

6. Now save it and close it. And open it in XMLSPY. (there's no need to grant internet access to this program for this)

7. Xmlspy will now tell you that the file is not well formed. the cursor will be in front of the first character that needs to be deleted, simply erase the > and then click recheck- you'll have to remove several > characters, then you come to C&D and you just delete the & and click recheck...move on to more > and the you come to Audifon Chat & Play- here you need to hit backspace twice- erasing the & and one space...now it says ok you you need to save- pick a name that you'll know it's for the final restore- like finalxmlready

8. Everything should be good now. (To be on the safe side turn off your modem when you're changing your firewall settings) just save it and go to: overview=>preferences=>and click the restore button in the zone alarm firewall. Load the file finalxmlready.xml and it should open a box saying loading, once its complete It should say that there were no problems. Now you need to check if that’s true, by going to the firewall=>zone section where all the rules should appear.
