Tip: Block Spammers

If you are getting to many fake results, maybe you need to block a bunch of nasty hosts out there and use the “Mark as Junk” feature a little bit more. Here’s an updated list of Blocked IPs.

STEP 1
With a text editor open “frostwire.props”

Windows users:

%APPDATA%\FrostWire\frostwire.props

Mac Users:

~/Library/Preferences/FrostWire/frostwire.props

Linux Users:

~/.frostwire/frostwire.props

STEP 2
Look for “BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES”, if you can’t find it, just paste the following list. If you already got some in there, copy the list of IPs and append at the end of your existing list (right after putting a “;” at the end of your existing list). It should all end up on a single line (no \n)

BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES=64.46.32.0/19;24.44.237.*;82.69.119.*;70.15.80.0/21;204.11.216.0/21;64.210.192.*;201.13.65.*;70.47.0.0/16;207.99.0.0/17;216.17.104.0/21;24.15.205.*;83.22.155.*;64.231.202.*;96.194.45.91;142.164.*.*;207.248.32.0/20;88.102.6.*;66.254.96.0/19;68.188.91.*;213.121.151.*;149.76.162.*;68.59.87.*;24.63.26.*;87.117.192.0/18;68.80.186.*;122.2.58.*;69.44.158.*;65.206.51.*;85.0.88.*;208.100.0.0/18;160.10.7.*;216.139.208.0/20;206.48.0.*;149.254.192.*;62.101.124.0/22;75.111.128.*;209.51.160.0/19;61.63.32.0/19;24.138.128.0/18;216.240.128.0/19;212.76.37.*;76.177.26.*;67.193.47.*;88.63.219.*;67.15.66.*;81.152.16.*;69.44.156.*;66.225.168.*;91.34.191.*;46.46.*.*;200.77.161.*;85.92.156.0/22;206.223.156.*;207.150.176.0/20;82.109.207.*;216.151.63.*;141.117.28.*;89.244.230.*;24.62.58.*;72.16.216.*;217.75.4.*;142.177.136.0/22;66.28.207.*;72.24.250.*;71.87.71.*;153.5.20.*;66.203.189.*;8.17.1.*;24.36.141.*;72.236.184.*;74.208.0.0/18;64.124.0.0/15;66.135.32.0/19;174.36.163.21;205.209.128.0/18;75.42.28.208/29;121.91.91.*;209.237.224.0/22;63.216.0.0/13;87.236.192.0/21;216.166.159.*;142.177.156.*;152.9.102.*;72.13.143.*;130.192.157.*;144.26.129.*;68.37.42.*;216.211.73.*;196.207.45.*;72.158.46.*;68.149.65.*;70.69.180.*;209.67.0.*;24.90.134.*;67.81.145.*;82.148.111.*;72.159.145.*;24.57.54.*;142.166.0.0/15;208.107.164.*;206.161.0.0/16;216.219.96.*;58.13.92.0/22;206.108.253.*;78.63.137.*;85.88.2.*;81.110.162.*;161.31.240.*;83.78.155.*;90.200.66.*;83.79.188.*;216.171.176.0/20;24.117.29.*;78.129.137.*;69.41.160.0/19;68.51.86.*;76.76.0.0/20;219.17.82.*;67.183.178.*;158.103.0.*;142.177.231.*;75.209.52.0/22;216.66.0.0/18;69.44.157.*;72.39.51.*;194.126.193.*;121.156.65.*;187.22.19.31;54.28.106.216;201.8.117.*;206.222.0.0/19;66.232.96.0/19;204.111.*.*;206.71.56.*;68.178.128.0/17;207.134.9.*;64.27.0.0/19;65.56.0.0/14;76.98.150.*;201.58.164.*;89.244.221.*;65.206.55.*;75.63.77.*;203.87.184.0/22;196.40.10.*;67.172.29.*;24.231.64.0/19;216.118.64.0/18;209.87.248.*;208.0.231.*;81.23.40.0/20;78.111.64.0/20;128.108.*.*;82.37.91.*;98.142.216.129;79.13.68.*;206.169.230.*;64.89.27.*;216.7.80.0/20;71.214.186.*;98.142.216.132;134.129.*.*;98.142.216.136;207.189.232.*;66.160.128.0/18;75.164.67.*;196.207.32.*;61.129.251.*;60.190.222.0/23;62.90.172.0/22;80.218.228.44;98.142.216.137;69.90.242.*;64.5.64.0/18;86.127.221.*;70.44.88.*;74.254.71.*;208.53.128.0/18;64.62.128.0/17;200.140.63.*;213.156.52.*;193.120.116.*;74.195.51.*;72.63.47.*;74.139.162.0/23;209.190.0.0/17;65.39.185.*;207.7.135.*;161.31.226.*;201.86.254.*;199.120.31.*;76.25.126.*;74.60.79.*;98.142.216.144;216.232.244.*;67.55.64.0/18;65.171.151.*;66.246.248.*;66.211.0.0/20;204.8.32.0/22;208.54.240.0/20;216.158.128.0/19;67.163.243.*;98.142.216.159;82.80.4.*;81.190.139.*;205.129.164.*;24.80.116.*;61.211.131.*;66.115.128.*;121.1.52.0/20;208.99.192.0/19;71.238.152.*;144.80.248.*;89.246.0.0/18;121.3.31.*;69.10.128.0/19;65.19.128.0/18;201.150.79.*;142.162.*.*;98.142.216.152;64.61.25.192/26;70.71.160.91;208.115.234.*;72.9.109.*;205.177.186.*;144.80.132.*;208.109.*.*;69.146.145.*;60.190.220.0/23;72.9.108.*;216.255.176.0/20;82.79.63.*;61.224.228.*;66.90.64.0/18;71.95.242.143;155.47.149.*;98.142.216.163;219.107.128.*;98.142.216.165;156.34.27.*;64.208.0.0/16;66.195.171.*;72.172.88.0/22;66.30.80.*;69.64.64.0/19;83.110.232.*;65.49.0.0/18;68.180.0.0/22;69.50.160.0/19;75.74.83.*;129.47.128.0/17;64.93.89.*;64.21.0.0/17;65.72.0.0/16;209.217.223.*;216.104.224.*;142.177.185.0/21;201.9.120.*;72.36.128.0/17;85.17.155.*;213.22.162.*;84.130.118.*;69.44.155.*;64.111.192.0/19;66.207.254.*;216.25.44.*;64.61.25.160/29;61.129.70.*;60.254.213.*;156.34.240.0/22;209.115.255.*;64.234.98.5;12.1.42.0/23;71.6.128.0/17;63.243.181.*;213.47.248.0/22;69.85.192.0/18;84.181.212.*;76.166.215.*;216.130.64.0/19;216.231.162.*;69.42.128.0/19;78.129.136.*;85.88.9.*;209.237.240.0/20;216.7.183.*;69.248.209.*;208.122.192.0/19;222.73.192.0/18;24.100.7.249;201.95.128.*;205.177.0.0/16;209.59.110.*;64.203.191.*;210.132.220.*;209.143.224.*;64.56.64.0/21;69.119.111.*;205.139.208.0/22;206.75.43.*;69.72.161.*;90.193.8.*;74.63.64.0/19;83.20.112.*;68.96.101.*;66.199.176.0/23;82.83.208.*;69.87.230.*;70.84.0.0/14;83.148.8.*;208.9.112.0/21;167.216.232.*;71.120.54.*;65.120.42.*;205.211.145.*;206.132.32.0/20;208.101.0.0/18;85.124.173.*;24.94.7.*;64.93.88.*;24.114.252.*;72.35.224.0/20;209.160.35.*;216.218.128.0/17;93.114.253.248;208.50.0.*;65.16.61.*;9.88.78.245;201.9.128.0/17;84.10.36.*;66.79.160.0/19;200.210.234.*;216.166.216.*;130.49.116.251;90.240.187.206;67.56.0.0/15;24.213.149.*;64.25.180.*;216.159.201.*;69.248.198.*;79.184.7.*;66.193.224.*;67.202.64.0/19;209.160.32.*;67.159.0.0/18;81.76.91.*;63.79.245.*;216.66.64.0/19;66.220.0.0/19;216.205.217.*;83.142.224.0/21;64.210.144.*;130.117.*.*;71.68.34.*;206.132.0.0/19;61.129.51.*;68.42.176.*;58.168.29.*;220.239.43.*;212.25.103.*;24.227.222.*;99.35.18.113;213.167.96.*;216.169.96.0/19;63.243.162.*;64.61.25.72/28;75.126.*.*;63.47.128.*;89.244.240.*;24.65.77.*;125.0.0.0/15;66.28.203.*;66.171.74.0/23;2

FrostWire .PISI package for Linux Pardus now available.

User Demir from Istanbul, Turkey let us know today that Linux Pardus is very popular over there and that they’ve created a FrostWire .pisi package for easy installation of FrostWire on that Linux Distro.

We can’t really test that package on our end, but If you are a Pardus user reading this, please give it a try with that package and let us know how things went.

Farkus Rocks FrostWire

Update Feb 6th:: Farkus has 10,500 downloads, and it’s not even 3 days yet. Keep sharing!

The FrostClick Team found this week an awesome rock band from Chicago named Farkus. They recommended it and we’re featuring it this week on the FrostWire welcome screen.

Farkus has already gotten over 5,000 BitTorrent downloads and we’d like you to give them a try, put it in your iPod, and tell us what you think of them.

The album is being released under Creative Commons with permissions to Share and Remix. They were nice enough to even included a special message for you guys, you’ll be able to hear it if you download the album.

Remember, Sharing is caring (and it’s also free promotion), but If you’d like to support this band with $, you can buy their CD on Amazon or iTunes (only like $5 last time we checked).

Rock on.

Torrents. Changing MIME type and File Type Associations on Mac OSX

After FrostWire 4.17.1 on MacOSX, FrostWire’s Info.plist file tells Mac OSX that FrostWire can be used as an application to open both torrent links and .torrent files.

If you like FrostWire only for Gnutella but not as a torrent client, you may probably want to have your .torrent files, and torrent links going by default to your preferred torrent client. It could also happen that another client is already set as the default torrent application, and you may want FrostWire to be the default.

The following screenshots will show you how to change the file associations and MIME type associations, which tell your web browser which application to open whenever a torrent link is clicked on.

Changing File Associations

1. Select a .torrent file

2. Right click on it and select “Get Info” (or press Command + i )

3. Select the Application you want to open it with, and click on the “Change All” button

4. All your .torrent file associations are now changed to the new program.

Changing MIME associations in Firefox
Open your Firefox “Preferences” and head to the “Applications” tab. Search for “torrent” and change the behavior. You can make it ask you every time for what application to use, or you can set a new default.

Note: If somebody knows how to change MIME type program associations in Safari, please let us know.
