how do i do this for frostwire?


EDIT: I put it in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\FrostWire

is that right, the filters to show block messages from specific hosts is blank tho.. ??


EDIT: the filters i meant that were empty are that the prefs filters section on blocked hosts show nothing and is blank..

The filter section in the options is not connected to the new modules involved
with hostiles.txt. It may still work but the new code is far faster and more
efficient, enabling FrostWire to handle a list hundreds of times larger yet still
be faster.

If you always log in as "Administrator" that location is the right one.
If you have more than one of those folders then copy it to all of them.

just checking, and yes i am the only one on this computer, so administrator is the only folder.. ty for the reply..

So, was the last update March 3rd, like it shows in the Original post? And is that where I would look to see if I need to delete my old list and ad a new one?

Updates are more frequent than indicated and are deliberately randomized so
the larger spammers and hostiles can't evade the blocks. Try once per week
even if it looks like nothing has changed.

If you subscribe to the thread using the link I provided you will get reminders
by email. I frequently get the forum to send out those reminders even when
no changes are visible.

Hostiles List Install Procedure
 

HEY, AW.... How ya doin'...

May be a bit weird, but I've installed BS on 7 different comps in the past 10 days...
No rest for the wicked, what ?

Anyway...

What I've certainly observed, and have seen no reference above to this point, is that one must FIRST run BS 'normal' and allow the first normal connect sequence to occur.
Meaning, simply, if you install BS and immediately copy the latest hostiles list into the BS system, without having allowed a first launch and connect after install, YOU WILL NEVER CONNECT.

It appears to me that the first connect sequence after the initial installation MUST be allowed to proceed....

Then, close BS - Shutdown PC...

Start PC and then bung the 'new hostiles list' into your BS \Program Files directory....

Man, I tried this maybe 30 times total on the above mentioned machines.... Only way to connect at all with the new hostiles list was to copy the list into an already configured and at least one time connected to hosts with the intial and standard BS installation....

Make sense or do I need a tad more local 53% rum ?
Say yes !!!! lol

Does anyone know how to add the lists from B.I.S.S. Blocklist Manager to Limewire?

BLM is one of the tools I use to build the list, and I merge in most of the Bluetack lists too. Of
course, I also use 79 more (at last count) lists, most of which I generate myself from scans of
the network. :cool:

Urs, just prime the old pump with fresh gwebcache.dat and connect.txt files from your old /db/
folder and you can skip the extra gyrations. :idea:

Hey Aaron, I have dn/lded and placed Hostiles list in App Data file in Limewire and I can't find any evidence of the list in LW. Am I missing something?? If you need more info Please let me know. I have screen shots if that will help you help me. Thanks, Remoc

There's no indication of the presence of the list within LimeWire itself. This is deliberate,
because any attempt to view such a large list tends to lock GUI up until Java gets the whole thing
into a listview. I don't think it was hooked up to the logging systems either because
performance is the highest priority and the Patricia Trie code was a first for any Java program.
