Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines.

 What I meant with free is "free as in free speech, not as in free beer". A definition can be found at gnu.org: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html And that can never be true with software where you can't look at the source code. You can have a look at our hostiles file at the phex web-svn: http://phex.svn.sourceforge.net/view...fg?view=markup Is it compatible? Would sure be great if it was! Best wishes, Arne

| Whoops!  I had a reply almost finished and made the mistake of trying to look at your list. Firefox really hates four megabyte long web pages for some reason.  Anyway, your list is compatible. The only difference in format is I never leave out the mask for single IP address blocks. This makes the list much easier to sort, compare and merge because all of the lines have exactly the same format. If Phex can deal with that you may as well mirror my list or merge it with yours. The master copy is always at: http://www3.telus.net/Aaron_Walkhous...reHostiles.zip I update it at unpredictable intervals deliberately because some of the worst offenders have been caught watching and waiting for me before changing locations. [ Wankers.  ] Check it once a week and that should be good enough for now. It would be an amazingly powerful tool if you get Phex to update it's copy automatically from your site roughly once a week. Since my list is usually about ten megabytes you may as well host that resource in zipped form to cut the download length and time to about 15% of the raw list. I'll just run a quick compare here… …yep, thought so. You're using some of the BlueTack lists too. Mine adds another 150,000 or so individual IPs from direct scans of the gnutella world for the most pervasive worms, spam and fakes. If Phex uses the list to clean up search results you definitely want to run my list.  That k3w1 GNUville insider definition of "free" software is opaque to the rest of the world. By that exact definition (yes, all four of those bulleted points) b25 is "free" to me because I was one of the beta testers and virtually all of my suggestions and requests went into it over the years. I may as well have written the program myself. If you had said "Open Source" it would have been perfectly clear. So there.  Last edited by AaronWalkhouse; February 7th, 2007 at 12:24 AM. |

| That the list fits is great! I'll check if I can make downloading the list decentral (via Gnutella), then we can save bandwidth  The foundation for that is avaible in Phex, but I might have to tweak a bit... As first step, we'll check how well Phex handles the list, and we can include it directly for each release. I have to disagree on the point of b25 being free to you, though. If it was free, then any following version would have been free, and you could still make the changes. Since it isn't free, you can't, and everyone else can't either. Open Source instead isn't free, because it can mean, that someone says: "Yes, you may look at the source, but you aren't allowed to change it." The GNU "free" is what created and drives the whole GNU/Linux system and the whole free software community, and it is the base of all free software you can find today. It means: It is free, and it will stay free, and noone can take it away. What BS seems to have had instead was an open development model, where you ask others for input, which is great, but doesn't give you real freedom with the program. I contributed to a non-free program myself for some time, but stopped when I realized that all my contributions would be completely wasted once the dev decided he didn't want others to use the program anymore. I don't know how many hours upon hours of translating went down the drain back then... I don't want to make that mistake again, and that's why I warn others against it, too.

| Since I don't care about following versions or any further changes the point is moot. It does the job exactly as I want and will do so forever. This is a case where contributing worked and nobody can take away the result. To all the BearShare insiders left over after Free Peers was mugged, that makes it free enough. Something better and "free-er" will come along later, but not for quite awhile because BearShare was well in the lead when genuine development was killed by the RIAA and it's little iMesh lapdog. Anyway, quibbling about semantics only a few know or care about is beside the point. Let's get back to the science and sport of slaughtering the enemy in the field. Does Phex have the ability to filter search results by hash? I have been saving them up for a couple of years now and they cover virtually all of the bad stuff. The LimeWire guys are working on it now and GTK has added the ability last year. I'd like to be able to contribute to All the major servents at once because the resulting panic among the spammers will be fun to watch. The sudden extinction of several worms and several of the largest fake farms would also be as welcome as the sudden demise of OverPeer last year. ;] I think I'll add Phex to my stable now. Might as well get a good look at it now that it's regained some momentum and is starting to become a spamfighter. Last edited by AaronWalkhouse; February 7th, 2007 at 11:15 AM. |

| Phex uses a hostile list with about 100.000 entries for over 2 years or maybe more if I recall correctly... so its not that we just started spamfighting... My tests showed that Phex handles your large list almost well... lookup times are a bit higher but are still in range and GUI memory spikes up quite a bit when scrolling through the list. The PATRICIA from Limewire will likely perform better. It might be worth thinking about integrating it, but it would likely mean that we would need to drop some features we have with IP rules now. Phex is able to filter search results by hash, but it is currently not coming with a default blacklist of hashes. The user is able to define custom filter rules with hashes. But its should be no big deal to also use a default blacklist.

| I have 12,477 unique hashes of spam, worms, trojans and fakes today. I continually find more as new files come along. Do you want today's snapshot? ;] |

| Two kids in my class use bearshare. One is smart and one is dumb. The smart one is using the old version of bearshare. The beta. She knows pro isn't good. And the dumb one uses BS 6. He said "LimeWire doesn't work for him". Because he isn't good. I told him to get rid of it. But he refuses. |
