The last time I took horror movie advice from this site I watched about 45 minutes of one of the dumbest things Ive ever seen...Dreamcatcher sucked @ whoever suggested it.


On another note, the new Trailer Park Boys movie is available for download.

Simply blocking the access to a peer list that participate in a torrent download does not stop ANYONE else accessing the same .torrent and viewing the list of those in the list.
Your real IP will still appear in that list and can be traced by the very people you are trying to block!.

If an "Anti P2P" organization (APO) were to be connected to the "pool" of peers using an IP obscuring software program you would see their FALSE IP address along with your OWN. If this list were to be used to reverse look-up these IP address's you can be identified (unless you are also using a program to obscure your IP.


You will still be seen in a list like the one above if the APO is using an Internet connection other than their own, or one they are known to use.
What PeerBlock (PeerGuardian) is supposed to do

Prevent the participation of APOs in file sharing networks. But, "Does PG2 work?"

All the blocking of APOs does is to stop them from injecting "bad" data into the torrent stream. Or even worse (on their behalf) contaminating the downloaded file with a virus or trojan. It has also been reported the APOs post purposely infected torrents to snare the unwary file sharer.

PeerBlock (PeerGuardian 2 - PG2) is undoubtedly a fine program and works the way that it says. It was developed with the nobelist of intentions - it is just that it is useless (IMO) in keeping you from detection.

There are also other side effects of using a program such as PG2 - sites that you want to access are blocked as they are in the list of IPs that PeerBlock has determined as "hostile". Sure, you can tell PeerBlock not to block HTML requests and your browser will be able to "see" these sites (such as the BBC) - but this is like locking the door after the horse has bolted.
There are legit reasons that you may want to block IP addresses

However, these are not really relevant to keeping yourself secure from detection.

Some of the reasons are described above but the fact that they are excluded from access to your computer from their own IP address doesn't mean that they are not present in the peer list all the same!
Peer Guardian and ip Blockers Don't work

From the comments of the isohunt tracker for the download of Up (An Oscar Nomination, 2010)

Got a not from ISP courtesy of Disney Police, PG2 wasn't working the day I got this copy, should of just waited, note to all it is being tracked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! use ip blocker or peer control program.
Note:

PG2 means PeerGuardian 2

If the "Disney Police" were looking for p2p'ers who were downloading "Up" they would more than likely to havebeen using an Internet connection other than one registered to a Disney company. Blocking ip addresses that have been identified to be belonging to Disney or one of their affiliates would only, possibly, stop them downloading parts of the file from you. Their ip and hence their connection would be prevented from accessing your computer and thus (possibly) not being able to download the parts of the file that you are downloading. Their ip address would not appear in your Peer List but, as I predict, the ip that they would be using would not be their own!

The only advantage of blocking the likes of Disney is that they will not be able to upload "bad" data into the torrent-stream (or wrse malware - although I have yet to see this proven). This only prevents the torrent from becoming corrupted, slowing down and possibly useless.

I presume that the commenter means that he or she recieved a NOTE forwarded from their ISP and that PG2 is Peer Guardian 2. The conclusion that Peer Guardian was not working on the day that they made the download is an indication, to me at least, that PG2 is no defense against the detective efforts of the copyright holders.
Undercover Cops rather than "Disney Cops"

The ONLY way that you are going to stop the agents of the film and music companies from detecting your participation in a P2P file-sharing network is to obscure YOUR IP!

It's sure not for everyone, but for those of you who seek new cinematic experiences, the movie Antichrist is sure to leave you feeling at least mildly disturbed and at most scarred for life, but potentially entertained. The movie is seperated into a few acts that all have their own special kind of artistic unique approach to the horror genre and none are typical of an average disturbing movie. It's hard to explain, but I suggest watching it without knowing much more than that, if you're at all interested. BE warned though, it has the potential to depress or make some people very uncomfortable. All I know is the scissors on the box cover become a lot more fucked up to see after you finish the movie. William Defoe is one of the main characters.

I liked it, but the ending was a little of a let down. I give it 6.5 which is somewhat high IMO.

You can it here Antichrist_2009 at a very trustworthy movie torrent site,  but I strongly suggest you always use peerblock and pay the 10$ a year for daily I-blocklist updates if you delve into that world. Although there's no longer any legal penalty for dling bootlegs online. Its on the cable providers now and they have to give you 6 chances before canceling your service. They stopped bringing people to court when children, quadrapalegic, and people with the most fucked up diseases/deformations on earth started showing up to court.

If you want to see the most disturbing unartistic movie. Check out A Serbian film. It's not that good though. They just pretend to rape a newborn baby and some other stuff to be shocking.

Peerblock is useless junk.

I can't believe you are paying 10 dollars for false reassurance.
