Re: Linux Replacements for Windows Programs - altman - 02-26-2015
Nice ideas LL-User !
Re: Linux Replacements for Windows Programs - ukbrian - 02-26-2015
I use qbittorrent but I've no idea how it compares with other ones, I used to use utorrent.
For a blocklist I use this script
Code:
#!/bin/bash
##remove & backup old list
rm -f blocklst.p2p.old
mv blocklst.p2p blocklst.p2p.old
## Get the lists
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1 -O l1-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_spyware -O spy-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_ads -O ads-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_templist -O bp-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_hijacked -O hijack-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_dshield -O hack-z
wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=ijfqtofzixtwayqovmxn -O threat-z
## Merge the lists
cat l1-z spy-z ads-z bp-z hijack-z hack-z threat-z > blocklst.p2p.gz
## Decompress
gunzip blocklst.p2p.gz
## Clean individual list files
rm -f *-zI've no idea if it's a good list and any ideas to improve it will be very gratefully received my friends.

Thanx for this one Brian , I rarely use either uGet or Deluge . Never used or knew qbittorent existed .
