Transmission Blocklist

The Transmission torrent client has an option to set a Blocklist, which helps protect you from getting caught and having the DMCA send a letter/email.

It's as simple as downloading and installing the latest client:

• https://transmissionbt.com/download/

After installing, navigate through the menu: Edit > Preferences > Privacy:

1. Check enable blocklist
2. Paste in: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/raw/master/bt_blocklists.gz (peep the curls) (github)
3. Check Enable automatic updates
4. Click Update
5. Close

This seems to work quite well: https://github.com/fonic/ipfilter

Only downside is that you need a server to provide the file as Transmission still hasn't implemented support for local blocklist files. I put the script on my NAS, which generates the block list and then serves it to local clients via HTTP. Works perfectly thus far.
