Block List URL ?
Just updated and see the auto update block list is now all manual based... Can any one share a URL to get a block list like before since there isn't one by default now. Thanks.
Re: Block List URL ?
One reason for removing the default was because the Transmission team doesn't really know what goes into those blocklists. For the same reason, I can't recommend a blocklist in the forums.
If you Google for "blocklist" and "URL" you'll quickly find several that you can evaluate and decide for yourself.

Re: Block List URL ?
I googled it and I found a few lists but I keep on getting the same error when I try to update it: "the specified blocklist file did not contain any valid rules" but from what I can tell the files inside is in the "p2p" file format that Transmission is supposed to support... ?
If you feel you can't recommend any specific list, at least could you provide an example of how someone would load a list of his/her choice like this one: http://www.iblocklist.com/list.php?list=bt_level1
Thanks!!

Block List URL for non-geeks
I'm sorry -- but the easy-to-use-just-works thing just got blown outa the water. I've done your requested search and tried a buncha things that just didn't work ---- like list manager programs with mystery setups and for the other guys platforms --- my mail program failing due to blocks --- time-outs -- failed to update ----
If you don't like us using your bandwidth --- how about as a default redirecting us to the source of whatever you used to use. No, I don't know how effective that 200k+ list was ---- but it beats "zero" and it did not interfere with my other stuff. If the tech-heads think they have something better -- good for them -- and for you for letting them "go for it" ---- but please don't leave us mere mortal users hanging ---

Some people at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19378/transmission found a couple of URLs that work.

Re: Block List URL ?
super-poussin: that one will stay alive only until the spring linux distro cycle. Older versions of Transmission don't allow the blocklist URL to be edited, so I I remove the link now it'll break things for all the Linux users running 2.04.
I would not recommend that URL because its days are numbered.

Re: Block List URL ?
Good block lists are still available from the http://www.bluetack.co.uk site, and I was able to find at least three that currently still work. These include the following text and DAT versions:
The above block lists showed the following on 2011-09-13:
Please note that I used these block lists with Transmission 2.13 (11501) and the lists may not work with other Transmission versions.
Good Luck.
