This script will update the IP filter list for µTorrent BitTorrent client.
It downloads ipfilter.zip file to %Temp% directory and unzips the dat file using 7za.exe or 7z.exe
The dat file is installed in your uTorrent settings folder %APPDATA%\uTorrent\
It should handle most common errors except if the download urls no longer host the file.
Edit: 26 May 2007 - v2 downloads .zip file instead of .dat file and compares version instead of file size. Also requires 7za.exe from
www.7-zip.org/download.html in your System path.
Edit: 7 Aug 2008 - v3 Requires AutoIt v3.2.12.0 that fixed InetGetSize function allowing this version to work. Can use 7z.exe or 7za.exe and will search your 'Program Files' folder to find either one. Backs up your old ipfilter.dat file to ipfilter.dat.old
To enable IP filtering in µTorrent, set "ipfilter.enable" to "true" in µTorrent's Advanced Preferences.
To reload ipfilter.dat without restarting µTorrent, simply set ipfilter.enable to false, then to true again.
Personally, I compile the script using
AutoIt v3.2.12.1 with the attached icon I found at
iconaholic, place it in my Program Files folder with uTorrent.exe, and create a shortcut to it in my StartMenu.
Enjoy,
Beeker
