I've been tryin' for the past several days to update my IP lists for PeerGuardian but they keep on sendimg me error msgs. In spite of that, the program still works. Anyone has had the same problem?

Any idea where to d/l other lists?

There have been a lot of issues for quite some time now with PG2 updating its P2P List. There is a simple workaround that requires using another P2P application, its called Blocklist Manager. The lists it provides are the ones PG2 downloads. I'll post back asap with how to. For now go ahead and download Blocklist Manager from here.

Also, see if this helps http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/489429/3448557 - i always update this way, usually takes a few attempts to get updated lately

Thanks for the advice Creakster,
Once I disabled pg2, The 3 updates that wouldnt went right through.
You never cease to amaze me lad.

No worries; can't remember if i had read that somewhere or just tried it by accident though

I'm sorry. Been trying to update it following the method described in creaky's post but no luck. still getting the download error message...

tryin to make blocklist manager work but I'm totally lost... the help is of not much use either... *sigh*

k0k0m0 heres a walkthrough with screenshots....








First open up notepad, but leave the notepad window blank. Save the file to this directory - C:\Program Files\PeerGuardian2\lists -. Save the blank file to this directory/folder as Exports.p2p and if you don't know how to save the file with the .p2p extension heres how. From Notepad go to "File", "Save As", and select the option to "Save File Type" and then simply type Exports.p2p in the filename box and save the file.

















I tried to make this as easy as possible, if anything doesn't make sense let me know.

Absolutely AWESOME... Thnx so so so much...
question, what should I do with my actual PeerGuradian lists? Why is your peerguardian blocking zero lists? how do you do that?

For your actual PeerGuardian lists you can uncheck all but the Blocklist Manager one from your "Lists Manager" window because the Blocklist Manager lists supercede them. And the reason my PG2 was blocking zero lists is because I took the picture to illustrate the size of the blocking lists that Blocklist Manager creates. So I had no lists activated in PG2 so it was blocking zero, and after you/I run through the guide you can see that PG2 now blocks some 2.9 billion IP's.

I think I've got the wrong URl for some reason,sources don't update 8(
The Blocklist Manager 2.7.7
