Transmission

Update.

I've discovered that by default the user library is hidden in mountain lion

to unhide it you can enter this command in a terminal window

chflags nohidden ~/Library


here's the page where i found that info

concatblocklist.py
I've written a small python script to automatically download and merge all your p2p format block-lists.
Currently it's for OSX only, but if anyone wants to modify it for the win/*nix crowd, they're more than welcome.
It works by pulling URLs from a user-defined list, unpacking any gzip files (only gzip is supported), and concatenating them into one mega file within the /blocklists/ folder. Because I wrote this with iblocklist.com in mind, concatblocklist.py treats every downloaded file as a gzip by default, but skips unzipping for each file with the ".txt" suffix.

Here's how to use it:
1) Make a list of every file URL (eg http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz)
2) Save said list as a plaintext file, following every URL with a newline. Save this file somewhere safe (eg /Application Support/Transmission/)
3) Run concatblocklist.py, supplying the path to the list file as an argument. (eg '$ python concatblocklist.py ~/Librar*/Appli*/Trans*/blocklist')
4) When concatblocklist.py is finished, open Transmission to create a new binary file.
5) I recommend adding concatblocklist.py to your login procedures so that your blocklist stays up-to-date.

I'm pretty new to python, so if anyone wants to clean up the script, here's the github link:

LOL after doing these steps (works great btw) the url that i have chosen to update has 1,308,176 rules in the list but before i did it was only at 600,000? was looking for an explanation if possible thanks
