I've just installed 1.1.0_RC2 on Ubuntu 8.10. The blocklist plugin is not working. Any info/ideas?

What about it isn't working? Can you paste some debug output from the daemon?

It looks like the activity, or type of blocklist may need to be addressed... Already we can not search on blocklist - i like the software, will update when the port is available for my 64-bit linux

The link in my older version of the programs still suggest using a file that is apparently no-longer available!

By: Steve 'Tarka' Smith, updated by Mark Stahler
Version: 0.45

Download and import various IP blocklists.

Currently this plugin can handle PeerGuardian (binary and text),
SafePeer and Emule lists. PeerGuardian 7zip format files are not
supported. Files may be specified as URLs or locations on the local
filesystem.

A page with pointer to blocklist download sites is available on the
wiki:

http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/BlocklistPlugin <---- Only pipfilter.dat.gz on this page, there is no links for PeerGuardian (binary and text), or a working SafePeer.
The link from deluge-torrent.org is no-longer the correct file as i posted in Plugin section - also below my post there is a PeerGuardian blocklist link question...

Any assistance would be appreciated

Well at the time, and for the next day, selecting "force download an import" would quickly flash a progress bar but the status bar in the main window would indicate no IPs were blocked.

Now, after a few days, it seems to be working. The problem must have been the list itself on the deluge site, rather than the program.

Correct. An error was identified with the actual blocklist files being uploaded and it has been rectified.

Does that mean I should wait a few days to use deluge??? Just kidding. This thread isn't dead yet when it comes to ubuntu and the blocklist importer.

Looks like this thread doesn't help me either with the latest release not importing the blocklist. It downloads it fine then sits there with the progress bar going back and forth saying "Importing" but it's apparently not importing anything.

Used the default settings and list source http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1

Package installed
deluge-torrent_1.0.99+1.1.0RC-2_amd64.hardy.deb
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy 64 bit
1.25 GB RAM

Any fix for this? 55 minutes and still Importing 0

You could try this modified egg file... worked for me, I assume it will also be in the next version. http://deluge-torrent.org/Blocklist-1.0-py2.5.egg

Thanks, I'll give it a try just as soon as someone tells me what to do with it. I don't see a readme in it and I'm new enough to linux that this would be the first egg it's had... :lol: Sorry to be double posting this thread and one other here http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... 575#p66575
Just looking for the answer to fix deluge since I like it better than the other torrent programs.

Thanks. It worked. I changed the type to "PeerGuaedian Text (Gzip)" and it worked fine. And that's not a typo on my part it actually says "PeerGuaedian Text (Gzip)".

Thanks again for the help, now I can use my favorite torrent app again. 8-)
