Banning Leechers Using Command Prompt

just curious what you ppl do

banning in peer guardian dosent work for me
banning in utorrent dosent seem to take effect

A really dirty way of banning an IP address is to fudge with your routing table on your PC.

1. Get a command prompt.

2. Do an ipconfig command to see what your PC's IP address is.

3. Type "route add <banned ip address> <your ip address>"

For example: Your IP address is 61.1.1.1, and the IP address you want to ban is 198.62.62.62. You would then type in:

route add 198.62.62.62 61.1.1.1

So from there on and until you restart your computer, that IP address will go to la-la land. If you want to remove the ban, type:

route delete 198.62.62.62

thanks you two.

i tried azereus, got it working but didnt have patience to tweak ports etc, also didnt see kick/ban - i will try again

the ipconfig thing did work on the 2nd try, thanks

also, i would mention that i dont feel its a dirty trick. im not a corperate server so it would be unfair to treat me as such, jem has a really nice tracker (bnbt) that shows who takes only, and you helped me get rid of someone who took only and shared nothing, (bandwidth hog) thats important for an individual who pays to leave the computer on all night (w/ big file) Big Smile

ty soo much, ahn nyung- he gah say oh (spelling?)
