I created 3 lists for PG2 to block these:
64.124.145.*
38.100.25.*
38.100.26.*

(edit): This is in addition to enabling gov, p2p, and spy lists(/edit)

not only do I use peerguardian but I have Zonealarm(firewall) bloking all the bad guys. also if you download off of private sites disable you DHT settings as this alows people to connect to your IP when downloading. When DHT is disabled it does not show your IP to others!!

What are you talking about?? Even with DHT disabled, everyone can get everyone else's IP address without even connecting to them.. All someone has to do is connect to the tracker and they get the entire swarm's IPs.......... Peerguardian wont even help you in that situation cause they didnt even connect to you.

I here what you are saying here but for criminal purposes just being there does not make you guilty. They then have to collect evidence, if they recieve any part of a file from you then you can be guilty of trafficking or piracy. The only way they can get this is for you to allow the connection and actually send them a piece of the file as if they were your friendly peer. The blockers should block this type thing in theory.

I use both Pg2 and PW. Very nice programs. Started using after I got 4 letters from my isp saying that mpaa flagged me.
