These guys publish free lists (incl. Bluetack lists) as well as offering an annual subscription (to presumably better lists?)

http://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php

Click on the list names (in blue) to get full details of what the list covers/blocks.

Their Level 1 list is a good ‘general purpose / entry-level’ list (at least for those outside USA)

http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz

[List] Author’s description:
- Companies or organizations who are clearly involved with trying to stop filesharing.
- Companies which anti-p2p activity has been seen from.
- Companies that produce or have a strong financial interest in copyrighted material.
- Government ranges or companies that have a strong financial interest in doing work for governments.
- Legal industry ranges.
- IPs or ranges of ISPs from which anti-p2p activity has been observed.

Did you find a solution!
For a direct link…Valid URL that works with transmission.

Was working fine before!
Transmission is to blame??

This would make updating the blocklist very annoying. I would suggest finding a url that works from within Transmission, such as the iblocklist one above.

TRANSMISSION ONLY
To make this work download:
http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz
then you take the level1.txt file and go to
yourname/library/applicationsupport/transmission/blocklist
then you put level1.txt in and relaunch transmission and it works

Instead of just closing preferences, I had to close Transmission and restart it. Just did it, so I don’t know if the auto updates will take without a bounce.

It is not a Transmission thing, Bluetack have placed the list behind a member only wall. Bluetack do have the best list though.. But the new one works for me too now, so i might as well use that one.. thanks!

Thank you SG that worked. I think it’s pretty crappy of transmission to screw up their program like this. Side note my Transmission on ubuntu 10.4 still works perfectly.

Same with me.
Don’t understand why!

Doesn’t work now, I just get “Download of the blocklist failed. The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)”

Really sucks that the Transmission devs stripped out such a fundamental feature.
