If ur getting an error with an older version of this mod then dont you think its time to upgrade to the latest avaliable to you emule SBI v2.11? Maybe the problem has been fixed already?
I guess he talking about an old temp file and not about an old emule version... :wink:
Can you please send me the complete log via pm?Quote:

ipfilter.dat is an HTML file.
I added an html extension and opened it with Firefox and it shows a Sourceforge emule Pawcio mod page.
Thought you may like to know. :wink:
You're right i have copied the file out of my beta config folder. :confused2:
But the real ipfilter should be the file with the extension .tmp.
If you use the emule ipfilter update function you get the correct one...
So Butcho what you are saying your mod doesnt use the "ipfilter.dat" file. But uses "ipfilter.dat.tmp".
So if we use an external program such as Block List Manager and not the built in ip filter list in your mod, we have to name the file "ipfilter.dat.tmp"?
Why the change? But I remember many earlier version ago (before I came to SBI forums), whenever I updated the "ipfilter.dat" with the built-in updator in your mod, emule hung. I that the reason?
Thanks
Thank Vation :wink:
My question was rather, does Butcho's emule mod's filter function point to the file "ipfilter.dat.tmp" and not "ipfilter.dat" as is the default in the official. From his post I assume it is but I just wanted clarificaion.
Actually it's a bit messier than that...
The ipfilter.dat.tmp is actually a zip file containing the real ipfilter.dat.
How did you manage that one? :smile:
EDIT: Hmm... perhaps the zip format is OK. I only mentioned it because my current, manually downloaded, ipfilter.dat is plain text (XML?) and not a zip archive.
@KarlstonIf you update the filter from any site like:Quote:
Actually it's a bit messier than that...
hXXp://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/nieuwe_site/Ipfilter_fakes/ipfilter.zip
file while being downloaded is named ipfilter.dat.tmp(and it is .zip archive), when the process of downloading is finished. ipfilter.dat.tmp is extracted and its content(ipfilter.dat) overwrites/replaces previous ipfilter.dat.
It is usually recommended to update ipfilter.dat after installation
Options/SBI Updates/IP Filter Updates press UPDATE button.
OR if you are more advaced user dwownload from bluetac.co.uk:
http://blocklistpro.com/download-center/ip-filters/
nipfilter.dat.gz for regular protection
pipfilter.dat.gz for maximum protection - this list is paranoid so can make some sources blocked.
Ipfilter.dat(called .dat or DONK, donkey ip ranges blacklist) is juts format for ipranges, filtering level and names
Example:
000.000.000.001 - 000.000.005.255 , 112 , BadBigBrother
Means:
IPv4 range start - IPv4 range end , filter level , IP range name
IN eMule Options/Security you have Filter level <127. If you would change Filter level to 111 this ip range would not be blocked, if Filter levelis set to 113 or more the range is blocked. Setting Filter level to 0 will disable filtering. (Filter level <127 allows ranges with filter over 127 and blocks every any below 127)
Usually filter level in IPfilter.dat file is set to 000 or 100 for block, may be some higher values if someone is not sure if to block some ranges.
IPfilter.dat gives many possibilities that are usually not used (Filtering levels), it can contain ip ranges with different filtering level values to be blocked or not if ser will wish. S
If you find my example not clear it is here too:

@Vation
I have confirmed that "ipfilter.dat" is the file being used for ip filtering by emule SBI and not "ipfilter.dat.tmp". So I have been properly filtering with the Blocklist manager, phew, relief. Butcho must have put it there so we have some protection straight away without extra download.
@Karlston
"ipfilter.dat.tmp" is the compressed zip file downloaded by the auto ip filter updator. emule SBI is supposed to auto unzip into "ipfilter.dat"after download and reload the "ipfilter.dat". So the "ipfilter.dat.tmp" is like a temp file, a normal process but left there maybe as a backup.
Many versions back when Butcho first released this feature it always crashed emule so I never used it even till now. But I havent tested if it works yet as i have since always relied on the more customiseable ip filters from bluetak.co
Thanks guys... I wasn't aware of eMule's auto unzipping.
For ever, I've been manually updating it, downloading and doing the unzipping myself. It's not exactly obvious that a file with a .tmp extension is a zip archive. :-)
Thanks for setting me straight.
