Fiddler - The web debugging proxy tool

What is Fiddler?

Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.
Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more.

Its a pretty cool tool and will come in handy. I forgot the name of this tool a few days ago and really needed to install it on another computer.

How to block IP address ranges in uTorrent – using ipfilter.dat « Decoding the Web

How to block IP address ranges in uTorrent – using ipfilter.dat


In case that you experience lots of hash fails in your uTorrent client, or just simply want to filter out suspicious IP addresses, you should use an IP blocklist.

Here is how:

1. Download an appropriate IP blocklist. Just get the one called "nipfilter.dat.gz" - The file will be saved in .gz format, therefore you will have to unzip it. The result is a file called “ipfilter.dat”, that is the IP blocklist.

2. Copy/paste the ipfilter.dat file into your %appdata%\utorrent folder.
click start > run > and enter:-
%appdata%\utorrent
This folder looks something like “C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\uTorrent”.

3. Start uTorrent, go into Options > Preferences > Advanced, set the
ipfilter.enable option to True

and hit Apply/OK.
Now load up uTorrent.
If you have successfully executed the above steps, then on the Logger tab of uTorrent, you should see something like
“Loaded ipfilter.dat (xxxx entries)
If you see there “0 entries”, then something went wrong.

You can reload the list without restarting uTorrent, by simply setting the ipfilder.enable option to False/OK and then True/OK.
