ubuntu server blocklist

[onthejazz]

in the "/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json" I have set "blocklist-enabled: true". Where do I add my .dat blocklist? Thanks

[onthejazz]

I have already tried ~/.config/transmission and ~/.config/transmission-daemon and the directories can not be located

I have also tried putting a directory called "blocklists" into both

"/etc/transmission-daemon" and "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/",

how do I know if the blocklists have been loaded

[onthejazz]

Do you have a log for Transmission?

Take a look at this:

https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/UnixServer/Debian

/etc/transmission-daemon symlinked to /var/lib/transmsision-daemon/info/settings.json

I'm having trouble locating the log file. The blocklist directory does not seem to be automatically created in any of the directories in the link.

[onthejazz]

would I call it blocklist or is their a shorter name the system will look for?

There is some blocklist documentation here:

Since I couldn't find the information online, I figured it out myself.

Place the blocklists files in /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/blocklists/

I wrote a bash script to pull the blocklists:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

BLOCKLISTDIR="/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/blocklists"
BASEURL="http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config"
FILES=( level1 level2 level3 )

for i in "${FILES[@]}"
do
  curl -L $BASEURL/$i.gz -o $BLOCKLISTDIR/$i.gz
  gunzip -f $BLOCKLISTDIR/$i.gz
  mv $BLOCKLISTDIR/$i $BLOCKLISTDIR/$i.txt
done

service transmission-daemon restart

Adjust the script if you want, and you might want to add it to a cron job.

Hi n_i_x,

I saw the script you created and would like to run it on my Mac. I am completely retarded when it comes to this, would you mind just walking me through the steps starting on my desktop screen in order to enter this script and activate it successfully? I have downloaded Transmission, and I complete all of my downloads via Vuze through torrents gotten from demonoid.... don't know if you need that info at all, but there it is fyi. Thanks for any help you could provide!
