Tip: Block Spammers

If you are getting to many fake results, maybe you need to block a bunch of nasty hosts out there and use the “Mark as Junk” feature a little bit more. Here’s an updated list of Blocked IPs.

STEP 1
With a text editor open “frostwire.props”

Windows users:

%APPDATA%\FrostWire\frostwire.props

Mac Users:

~/Library/Preferences/FrostWire/frostwire.props

Linux Users:

~/.frostwire/frostwire.props

STEP 2
Look for “BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES”, if you can’t find it, just paste the following list. If you already got some in there, copy the list of IPs and append at the end of your existing list (right after putting a “;” at the end of your existing list). It should all end up on a single line (no \n)

BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES=64.46.32.0/19;24.44.237.*;82.69.119.*;70.15.80.0/21;204.11.216.0/21;64.210.192.*;201.13.65.*;70.47.0.0/16;207.99.0.0/17;216.17.104.0/21;24.15.205.*;83.22.155.*;64.231.202.*;96.194.45.91;142.164.*.*;207.248.32.0/20;88.102.6.*;66.254.96.0/19;68.188.91.*;213.121.151.*;149.76.162.*;68.59.87.*;24.63.26.*;87.117.192.0/18;68.80.186.*;122.2.58.*;69.44.158.*;65.206.51.*;85.0.88.*;208.100.0.0/18;160.10.7.*;216.139.208.0/20;206.48.0.*;149.254.192.*;62.101.124.0/22;75.111.128.*;209.51.160.0/19;61.63.32.0/19;24.138.128.0/18;216.240.128.0/19;212.76.37.*;76.177.26.*;67.193.47.*;88.63.219.*;67.15.66.*;81.152.16.*;69.44.156.*;66.225.168.*;91.34.191.*;46.46.*.*;200.77.161.*;85.92.156.0/22;206.223.156.*;207.150.176.0/20;82.109.207.*;216.151.63.*;141.117.28.*;89.244.230.*;24.62.58.*;72.16.216.*;217.75.4.*;142.177.136.0/22;66.28.207.*;72.24.250.*;71.87.71.*;153.5.20.*;66.203.189.*;8.17.1.*;24.36.141.*;72.236.184.*;74.208.0.0/18;64.124.0.0/15;66.135.32.0/19;174.36.163.21;205.209.128.0/18;75.42.28.208/29;121.91.91.*;209.237.224.0/22;63.216.0.0/13;87.236.192.0/21;216.166.159.*;142.177.156.*;152.9.102.*;72.13.143.*;130.192.157.*;144.26.129.*;68.37.42.*;216.211.73.*;196.207.45.*;72.158.46.*;68.149.65.*;70.69.180.*;209.67.0.*;24.90.134.*;67.81.145.*;82.148.111.*;72.159.145.*;24.57.54.*;142.166.0.0/15;208.107.164.*;206.161.0.0/16;216.219.96.*;58.13.92.0/22;206.108.253.*;78.63.137.*;85.88.2.*;81.110.162.*;161.31.240.*;83.78.155.*;90.200.66.*;83.79.188.*;216.171.176.0/20;24.117.29.*;78.129.137.*;69.41.160.0/19;68.51.86.*;76.76.0.0/20;219.17.82.*;67.183.178.*;158.103.0.*;142.177.231.*;75.209.52.0/22;216.66.0.0/18;69.44.157.*;72.39.51.*;194.126.193.*;121.156.65.*;187.22.19.31;54.28.106.216;201.8.117.*;206.222.0.0/19;66.232.96.0/19;204.111.*.*;206.71.56.*;68.178.128.0/17;207.134.9.*;64.27.0.0/19;65.56.0.0/14;76.98.150.*;201.58.164.*;89.244.221.*;65.206.55.*;75.63.77.*;203.87.184.0/22;196.40.10.*;67.172.29.*;24.231.64.0/19;216.118.64.0/18;209.87.248.*;208.0.231.*;81.23.40.0/20;78.111.64.0/20;128.108.*.*;82.37.91.*;98.142.216.129;79.13.68.*;206.169.230.*;64.89.27.*;216.7.80.0/20;71.214.186.*;98.142.216.132;134.129.*.*;98.142.216.136;207.189.232.*;66.160.128.0/18;75.164.67.*;196.207.32.*;61.129.251.*;60.190.222.0/23;62.90.172.0/22;80.218.228.44;98.142.216.137;69.90.242.*;64.5.64.0/18;86.127.221.*;70.44.88.*;74.254.71.*;208.53.128.0/18;64.62.128.0/17;200.140.63.*;213.156.52.*;193.120.116.*;74.195.51.*;72.63.47.*;74.139.162.0/23;209.190.0.0/17;65.39.185.*;207.7.135.*;161.31.226.*;201.86.254.*;199.120.31.*;76.25.126.*;74.60.79.*;98.142.216.144;216.232.244.*;67.55.64.0/18;65.171.151.*;66.246.248.*;66.211.0.0/20;204.8.32.0/22;208.54.240.0/20;216.158.128.0/19;67.163.243.*;98.142.216.159;82.80.4.*;81.190.139.*;205.129.164.*;24.80.116.*;61.211.131.*;66.115.128.*;121.1.52.0/20;208.99.192.0/19;71.238.152.*;144.80.248.*;89.246.0.0/18;121.3.31.*;69.10.128.0/19;65.19.128.0/18;201.150.79.*;142.162.*.*;98.142.216.152;64.61.25.192/26;70.71.160.91;208.115.234.*;72.9.109.*;205.177.186.*;144.80.132.*;208.109.*.*;69.146.145.*;60.190.220.0/23;72.9.108.*;216.255.176.0/20;82.79.63.*;61.224.228.*;66.90.64.0/18;71.95.242.143;155.47.149.*;98.142.216.163;219.107.128.*;98.142.216.165;156.34.27.*;64.208.0.0/16;66.195.171.*;72.172.88.0/22;66.30.80.*;69.64.64.0/19;83.110.232.*;65.49.0.0/18;68.180.0.0/22;69.50.160.0/19;75.74.83.*;129.47.128.0/17;64.93.89.*;64.21.0.0/17;65.72.0.0/16;209.217.223.*;216.104.224.*;142.177.185.0/21;201.9.120.*;72.36.128.0/17;85.17.155.*;213.22.162.*;84.130.118.*;69.44.155.*;64.111.192.0/19;66.207.254.*;216.25.44.*;64.61.25.160/29;61.129.70.*;60.254.213.*;156.34.240.0/22;209.115.255.*;64.234.98.5;12.1.42.0/23;71.6.128.0/17;63.243.181.*;213.47.248.0/22;69.85.192.0/18;84.181.212.*;76.166.215.*;216.130.64.0/19;216.231.162.*;69.42.128.0/19;78.129.136.*;85.88.9.*;209.237.240.0/20;216.7.183.*;69.248.209.*;208.122.192.0/19;222.73.192.0/18;24.100.7.249;201.95.128.*;205.177.0.0/16;209.59.110.*;64.203.191.*;210.132.220.*;209.143.224.*;64.56.64.0/21;69.119.111.*;205.139.208.0/22;206.75.43.*;69.72.161.*;90.193.8.*;74.63.64.0/19;83.20.112.*;68.96.101.*;66.199.176.0/23;82.83.208.*;69.87.230.*;70.84.0.0/14;83.148.8.*;208.9.112.0/21;167.216.232.*;71.120.54.*;65.120.42.*;205.211.145.*;206.132.32.0/20;208.101.0.0/18;85.124.173.*;24.94.7.*;64.93.88.*;24.114.252.*;72.35.224.0/20;209.160.35.*;216.218.128.0/17;93.114.253.248;208.50.0.*;65.16.61.*;9.88.78.245;201.9.128.0/17;84.10.36.*;66.79.160.0/19;200.210.234.*;216.166.216.*;130.49.116.251;90.240.187.206;67.56.0.0/15;24.213.149.*;64.25.180.*;216.159.201.*;69.248.198.*;79.184.7.*;66.193.224.*;67.202.64.0/19;209.160.32.*;67.159.0.0/18;81.76.91.*;63.79.245.*;216.66.64.0/19;66.220.0.0/19;216.205.217.*;83.142.224.0/21;64.210.144.*;130.117.*.*;71.68.34.*;206.132.0.0/19;61.129.51.*;68.42.176.*;58.168.29.*;220.239.43.*;212.25.103.*;24.227.222.*;99.35.18.113;213.167.96.*;216.169.96.0/19;63.243.162.*;64.61.25.72/28;75.126.*.*;63.47.128.*;89.244.240.*;24.65.77.*;125.0.0.0/15;66.28.203.*;66.171.74.0/23;2

FrostWire .PISI package for Linux Pardus now available.

User Demir from Istanbul, Turkey let us know today that Linux Pardus is very popular over there and that they’ve created a FrostWire .pisi package for easy installation of FrostWire on that Linux Distro.

We can’t really test that package on our end, but If you are a Pardus user reading this, please give it a try with that package and let us know how things went.

FrostWire now available on Gentoo Linux’s Portage package system

We want to give thanks to William L. Thomson Jr from Gentoo for making FrostWire available to people running Gentoo ~arch or unstable ~x86 or ~amd64.

If you are a Gentoo Linux user you can now just do:

emerge frostwire

And as William says:

it will bring in all deps, compile, install, make desktop menu entries, launcher, etc ๐Ÿ™‚

If you’re interested here’s the package

About Gentoo

The Gentoo Linux operating system (pronounced /ร‹ห†dรŠโ€™ร‰โ€บntuร‹ย/) is a Linux distribution based on the Portage package management system. The development project and its products are named after the Gentoo penguin. Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user’s machine. Packages are normally built from source code, continuing the tradition of the ports collection, although for convenience, some large software packages are also available as precompiled binaries for various architectures.

User luisdrk from Caracas,Venezuela has posted this picture on flickr. Pretty cool stuff. it’s actually a parody of this picture by Jesus Molina.

It’s really funny because we had our inspiration from a similar source, we looked for the words “frost wire” in flickr, and we saw frozen barbed wires, this is the one that caught our eye and then we talked to a great graphic designer who did the logo for us.
