IPFilter Updater torrent

The IPFilter µpdater is a sophisticated, yet very straight-forward and simple batch script to automatically update your ipfilter (?) for the most bittorrent clients. The initial version was created for µTorrent (hence the symbolic 'µ'-pun). Nowadays, it also supports Halite, BitSpirit, BitTorrent & Vuze.
It uses a standalone version of Wget *, the UnRAR command line executable by Alexander Roshal *, a nice looking icon and is compiled within in a highly compressed self-extracting archive, to simplify the process of installing.

An ipfilter blocks traffic from and to bad IPs and bad ranges of IPs. The IPs which get blocked will not be able to upload files to you or to download files from you. These hosts are usually fake, created to collect private information about which files you download and will only upload fake parts of the real thing you're trying to download. All this will make your privacy on the web even more fragile and results in unnecessary use of your precious bandwidth. So, an ipfilter could make your p2p downloads safer, faster and more reliable, even if it's just a little bit.

The IPFilter µpdater uses a rarred version of the great and very popular Ozzy ipfilter *, which is about six times smaller than the original file and is updated the same day as Ozzy releases his filter. The rar takes less time to download and is also necessary to automate the process, because Ozzy isn't very consistent in the online-storing of his files.
