Those extensions are not working for me C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\.limewire
Alternate location: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\Application Data\Limewire kind of strange. I would really like to have that black list stated here to be safe too.

Did you find the location? You need to turn on option to show Hidden files & folders before you do the computer search. :) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932

well actually I am using an XP windows version and I do have the hidden folders thing switched on. Still wat is a contabanned dude?:D

I was unable to find the settings folder either as described above, but I have Vista so the layout is different there. I was able to find the following, which I think is what you want, at least it seems to work for me. Try putting the hostiles file in /<username>/AppData/Roaming/Limewire. Since I never set my user name, my account is Owner.

I haven't used XP, so I don't know whether this will work there.

Two possible locations for preferences folder in Windows XP:

1. C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\limewire

2. C:\Documents And Settings\your username\.limewire

Note the dot in front of limewire in the 2nd location. ;) The 2nd location is the old location that was used with older versions of LW. Might still be there if you started using LW some years ago.

Thanks, Aaron, but I'm having some trouble downloading it. The first link gives me a time-out error (Problem loading page), and at the second link I am able to download a zip file, but it contains an empty folder (zero KB) with no hostiles.txt in it.

Has the file been moved? Thank you.

Both links worked fine for me & contents identical. Which browser are you using?

Try these links (you need to click the Request Download Ticket, then Download links & ignore adverts below): Hostiles.zip or Hostiles.sitx.

But you still need Aaron's response to your main question. :)

Just a note:

1. This Hostiles list has not been updated since June 2011.
2. This Hostiles format does not seem to be compatible with the LimeWire 5 versions. (Perhaps because LW 5 had its own optional built-in list.) I am guessing because LW 5 dropped this less memory efficient technique option of representing host addresses. LimeWire 4 appears not to use it either and refuses to even connect.
