Windows (XP) firewall doesn't let you do that, it doesn't seem to support an IP block-list, unfortunately, but at least I've got the general idea now... and thanks!

I read your insurance story there. Now they're bad guys... and of course it's a total rip, but that bucket... and the gangrene... ouch! Mightn't that be a bit harsh even for an insurance adjuster? :)

Shareaza has got something nice :) Security filters.
I recommend the one from the Security Centre: Shareaza Security Centre
Unzip the downloaded file and read the README ;)

you would have had to have been there...that guy deserves it....I mean really, trying to tell me that maybe the leak was through the limestone on the outside of the house....he'll be very lucky if I never see him again sometime in life:blink:

Ahh! That does the trick! X Ray Security Filter Version 7.5. Looks great and allows you to add individual IP's easily.

Good work Neglacio! Thanks guys. And don't forget: Check the small print on those insurance policies!

Hope I posting this correctly. I've been using Shareaza for a number of years with good results but in the past while problems have occured with the full completion of downloads (like stuck at 99.7%). Can't figure it out so I need help.

So hello to everyone in these forums.

Well, that's a thing happening with a lot of filesharing apps (supporting HTTP transferring networks).

You can fix it by rightclicking the download and pressing pauze, and after that, restart.

Further, on PeerGuardian2: It starts the Windows server service on your computer (which I discovered because a hidden catalog.wci (that's a Windows server indexing service database file - apparently) suddenly appeared in the System Volume Information folder and made my regular drive ghosting task fail, otherwise I wouldn't have known). Now a program that's supposed to be protecting my computer is turning it into a server? What's going on here? Anyone got any suggestions?

Is this PeerGuardian on the level or what?

On the plus side, it is brilliant at blocking outgoing IP calls, from whatever apps you have on your system. It has already blocked outgoing IP calls from two trojans that I had no idea were 'contacting home' from my computer. One is actually a pirated screen capture tool (HyperSxxp). Yeah, some applications downloads on P2P are high-class trojans that are very difficult to spot.

@P2D2: That link (Shareaza Security Centre), iwas wondering what you know of that site?... because they have these two Tweak files also that seemed interesting,

Shareaza Quick Guide 2.3: Quick Guide to Shareaza (RAR)
This is a .rar file, that contains instructions on how to set-up shareaza

Shareaza Settings Guide: Settings Guide for Shareaza (RAR)
This is a .rar file that contains an extensive amount of info on how to use shareaza's advanced settings

and for some reason i expected these two ShareAza help files to be readable, but they turned out to be compressed .exe files(!!!) - I wonder why? or what this site is trying to do by getting us to execute "FAQ" documents...?

hmmmmmm....just where exactly did you get your copy of PG2?

Interesting, Cor-e. I just scanned through their file Shareaza Quick Guide 2.3.exe (with UltraEdit-32) and there's so much (apparently - least it looks like) program code in it that I don't feel much inclined to run it to find out wtf it is! (And you are an ex-KaZaA user, are you not? - I'm guessing from the way you capitalized ShareAza :))

@Peerless: I got it direct from Phoenix Labs (link), billed as: "Home of the original PeerGuardian 2".
