darkninja07 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 bitdave said to use PeerGuardian2 instead of the ipfilter.dat setting in BitComet. would it still work the same for BitComet if i turn Block HTTP off? and why would I need Block HTTP on? answers would be much appriciated. thanks a bunch :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitdave Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Its OK to Allow HTTP. PG2 will still block the bad guys from trying to connect to your Bitcomet client. What I do when im just browsing around the web is allow HTTP, but whenever I go to a torrent site I've never been to before like Torrentz.com, I choose to Block HTTP because that way I can see if people like MEDIASENTTRY have that place staked out and are gonna try to connect to me over HTTP. On the other hand if you go to a torrent site and you just see advertisement stuff (Savvis, etc) being blocked like at mininova.org then you should Allow HTTP otherwise the pages will load really slow. You may also want to uncheck the Education list so that you can connect to people using their highspeed college connections. Peerguardian is by no means a perfect defense but its better than nothing.
