Can't update block list

Post by Xosted »

Hi,

I know that there are quite many topics about this subject but... they are about the right address for the list most likely.
He my problem seems to be different. It doesn't matter which list I put in the field once "Enable blocklist" is activated.
It opens the little window saying "Update block list - Getting new block list..." and... that's it :(
It just hangs there for ever. It isn't frozen, I can click on the close button and still 0 rules are loaded.

I am using uBuntu 12.04 and tried Transmission 2.51 and 2.61, same issue with both of them.
These are two of the lists that I tried:
http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz
http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_lev ... eformat=gz

Any idea on how to get this to work?

Thanks

I could do that indeed but...
what directory is it?

thank you.
by putting the list manually in the directory, It seems to load it.
It still doesn't work through the software itself.

Hi guys
I'm having the same problem (transmission 2.94-2 on debian 10): I tried a few lists from this page https://www.iblocklist.com/lists; settings.json does get updated with the list url but nothing happen when I hit update (0 ip blocked); I also tried downloading and extracting the list to /etc/transmission-daemon/blocklists and restarting the daemon with no more success (no .bin created). The list seems to abide the p2b format (name:ip-range).
And then, with all my lore, I stand no wiser than before.
Any insight?
Regards
