Get a Secure IP Filter For uTorrent

Posted by Cyph0n

My previous post showed you how to block most unwanted IPs, and if you've followed that tutorial, you won't need to do this one. But doing both the previous method and the following one will keep you completely safe from virus-infected files and seeders.

This method is mainly used for uTorrent, and it will only work for it. If you're not a heavy torrent downloader, I don't think you'll need to follow this guide at all. What an IP Filter basically does is it blocks most spyware torrent uploaders from being able to seed to you. If you start downloading a torrent from one of these blocked uploaders, the IP Filter will automatically stop downloading the torrent.

This can be very useful, because nowadays there are a lot of bad uploaders who just want to spy on other people or break down their computers with a deadly backdoor trojan. Hopefully, this tutorial will show you how to completely block these bad torrents and keep you safe from spyware and viruses.

1. Download the latest IP Filter from here.

2. Go to Start>Run and type %AppData%/uTorrent in the box.

3. Once the folder is open, copy and paste the ipfilter.dat. Make sure uTorrent is closed when you do this.

4. That should be it. To make sure your IP Filter is working properly, open uTorrent and click on the Logger tab.

5. Right after you load uTorrent, a message should appear in the Logger tab, similar to the one in the picture. If this does appear, your IP Filter is working perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and learned something new. If you have any questions regarding this tutorial, please feel free to post a comment.

How to Rip and Upload Your Own DVDs (Part 2)

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Tips and Tricks, Tutorials

Welcome to the second part of my exclusive and easy-to-follow DVD ripping tutorial. This tutorial is mainly going to cover three points related to uploading your movie:

A. Capturing Screenshots Of Your Movie

B. Making Your Own .NFO File

C. Uploading Your Movie to a Torrent Site or to RapidShare

I'm going to start with screen capturing. This is usually done to show downloaders the quality of your movie. This isn't necessary, but I recommend it to people who want more downloads. By now, you should have Image Grabber II installed on your computer. If you don't, just download it using the link provided.

1. Open Image Grabber II.

2. Go to File>Open File.

3. Browse for your ripped movie, and then click "Open".

4. Pause the video, and click on the small monitor icon to the right of the red stop button.

5. A small box should pop-up. Type the number "12" in the box and click "OK".

6. Once it's completed capturing random frames from your movie, go to File>Save File and follow the settings in the pictures below.

After adding the settings in the previous picture, click on "Arial" to setup the font properties.

7. Once this is all done, just click on the "Save" button.

Now upload it to an image host like XXLIMG and you're screen cap file is ready!

The next step is creating your .NFO file which contains info about the movie (length, size, resolution etc..). This is also an optional step, but it makes you feel like a pro DVD ripper!

1. Download AVI2Clipboard and install it.

2. Right-click on your movie and go to AVI2Clipboard>Save to Clipboard (Normal).

3. This should copy your movie info to the clipboard. To see the info, go to a notepad file and press Ctrl + V. Here's an example of my NFO:

4. Finally, save your file as (yourtexthere.nfo).

The last step is uploading your file to a torrent tracker or to RapidShare. If you want to upload it to a torrent tracker, you can check out this tutorial. If you want to upload your movie to RapidShare, you can follow this quick tutorial. Make sure you have WinRAR installed before proceeding.

1. Go to your movie, right-click on it and select "Add to Archive".

2. Once it's open, apply the settings in the picture below and click "OK".

You're movie should split into 100MB archives ready for upload to RapidShare.

Well, you've come to the end of my longest tutorial yet on P2P Heaven. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to visit us again sometime!

How to Rip and Upload Your Own DVDs

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Tips and Tricks, Tutorials

Searching for movies on torrent trackers maybe a thing you do almost everyday, and if it is, you must pass by a lot of ripping groups. These groups are a bunch of people who rip, or convert, and upload the latest releases out there on DVD. Here are a few examples of the most known ripping groups out there:

aXXo (my favorite)

DiAMOND

FXG

FxM

PUKKA

KLAXXON

ALLiANCE

These are only a few groups, but they are the best and most known DVD rippers. A quick search for any of these on MiniNova or The Pirate Bay will give you a lot of results. While these guys are the big shots of the ripping scene, there are still a lot of "unofficial" ripping groups out there that mostly work with TS and CAM releases.

The real question is: Have you ever wanted to rip your DVDs and upload them to the torrent scene? If the answer is no, I don't think that you should be reading this article, but if your answer is yes, you're at the right place. This article will show you how to rip and upload your DVDs in a user-friendly manner that even a complete idiot can understand.

I will divide this article into two parts; the first part (which is this one) will show you how to rip your DVDs to your hard drive. The second part will cover the concept of uploading your finalized movie to a torrent tracker or to RapidShare.

What You'll Need For This Tutorial:

- DVDDecrypter

- AutoGK

- Image Grabber II (used in Part 2)

- AVI2Clipboard (used in Part 2)

- WinRAR

Once you download and install all the software, you can start following my tutorial!

1. Insert your DVD movie into your computer's disc drive and open DVDDecrypter.

2. The program should automatically detect the inserted DVD. Go to Edit>Select Main Movie Files. It will select some files from the list on the right. Once this is done, click "Decrypt".

3. It should start copying your movie's VOB files to your hard drive. This should take around 5 minutes. The time it takes depends on your computer's hardware.

4. Once it's done, close it and open AutoGK.

5. For your input file, you'll need to select the IFO file copied by DVDDecrypter. As for your output, just select where you want your AVI movie to be saved.

6. Select the audio track you'd like to rip to your movie.

7. Look at your movie's length. If the length of your movie is 2 hours or longer, you'll need to rip your movie to 2 CDs . If your movie is shorter than 2 hours, you can just rip it to 1 CD.

8. Now open "Advanced Settings".

9. Make sure you have the same settings as the picture below.

10. All you have to do now is preview your movie before ripping it. To do this, just click on the "Preview" button.

11. After a minute or two, a Media Player Classic window should open with a preview of the final output quality. Just be patient.

12. Once you make sure the quality is excellent, you can add your movie to the queue by clicking on "Add Job".

13. You can now start the ripping process by clicking "Start".

The whole process should take about 2 hours, but this mostly depends on your computer's hardware. Just make sure not to touch anything during the ripping process, as there will be windows popping up that might make you think you have to close them. I recommend leaving it overnight, because by the time you wake up, it should be completed.

I will be posting the second part of this tutorial soon, so stay tuned for more exclusive posts on P2P Heaven!

How to Block IPs Monitoring Your Activity

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Tips and Tricks, Tutorials, uTorrent

Many of you may be living in countries where anti-P2P organizations watch what you do every moment, and downloading torrents could get you arrested. Well, if that's the case, you'll be able to download torrents safely without being caught by those prying eyes.

This is all done using a small freeware called PeerGuardian. What this little application does is block unwanted IPs from being able to see what you're doing on your computer. You won't have to specify the IPs; it'll download and update lists automatically. The following tutorial will show you how to use this software efficiently.

Read the following steps and you'll hopefully be able to block those fishy IPs that monitor your torrent activity.

1. You'll first need to download PeerGuardian v2.07 from here.

2. Install it and then open it.

3. Once you open it, a wizard should appear. Click "Next".

4. I recommend the settings in the picture below. It's your choice in the end. Click "Next".

5. Keep everything the same and click "Next".

6. Click "Finish" to close the wizard.

7. It should automatically start to update the lists.

8. This is the main window. I recommend unblocking HTTP connections and keeping everything else the same.

9. You can see if the application is blocking any IPs here.

If you've done everything correctly, you should have an anti-piracy free torrent experience. Always check back here for more great and exclusive tutorials!

Warner Bros. Acquires The Pirate Bay!!

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: News

After years of hostility, lawsuits, police raids and heated invective between the two groups, the Pirate Bay has today announced they have settled their differences with US media conglomerate Warner Bros. The largest BitTorrent tracker has sold out to Hollywood and the two have agreed a deal.

The deal, worth over $13 billion (10 billion euros) came about after the recent performance at the Pirate Bay trial gave strong indications that the judgment would go against Warner Bros. For the Hollywood movie studio, it seems that acquiring The Pirate Bay was the only option left.

In the press release, both groups gave a positive outlook to the deal. “The Pirate Bay team has built an exciting and powerful media platform that complements Warner Bros’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful,” said Jim Kjeyzer, Chief Executive Officer of Warner Bros.

Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm was similarly forward looking saying “Our community has played a vital role in changing the way that people consume media, creating a new hip culture. By joining forces with Warner Bros, we can benefit from its global reach and technology leadership to deliver a more comprehensive entertainment experience for our users and to create new opportunities for our partners.”

A press conference will be held later today to discuss the finer aspects of the acquisition. The conference will be broadcasted live on the Internet and details for access to the webcast are included in the press release.

How the Pirate Bay’s users will deal with this deal is the only wild-card. Will it be another Exeem, or will it blossom into something powerful and progressive. Only time will tell.

My Comment:

This deal might change the history of torrents, as this is the first acquisition, and it might not be the last. You might wake up one day to find MiniNova sold to Macintosh!!

How to Use Ratio Faker

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Tips and Tricks, Torrent Trackers

There is a simple trick to fake your ratio in private trackers. This can be done simply by using a special tool called Ratio Faker. The following tutorial could get you banned from your private tracker, so don't use it unless you want to have a little fun.

1. Download Ratio Faker from here.

2. Install it to your computer and then open it.

3. The main window should look like this:

4. Open uTorrent, and go to Options>Preferences.

5. In the Connection tab, change your settings to the settings in the picture below.

6. Now go to your private tracker and download any file, but stop it before it starts downloading. Also take a note of the ratio in the picture below as proof.

7. In the Ratio Faker window, make sure to select Download, not Upload. Change the ratio settings to whatever you like.

8. Resume the download, and you should see some stuff appear in Ratio Faker.

9. After downloading the file, your ratio should increase according to the settings you applied in the Ratio Faker. (Mine didn't increase much because this tracker gives you 10GB free upload credit)

That's all to it! If I were you, I wouldn't use it for high-ranked private trackers, because they'll detect this tool easily. It is nice to use for low-ranked trackers, and it can be fun to have an outrageously high ratio. If you have any questions, just post a comment.

A Simple Guide to Seedboxes

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Torrent Trackers, Tutorials

It can sometimes be hard to maintain your ratio in certain private trackers, and it can especially be frustrating for people with lower speed connections. Sometimes there are huge files that you'd really like to download, but you don't think you can upload them and keep your ratio balanced at the same time. Well, if that's the case, this is your lucky day, because there is a solution to this problem, and it's known simply as a "SeedBox".

A seedbox is a computer located in a country that deals with high speed connections like Sweden, for example. This computer can be remotely accessed by a user, and the user can use it to seed torrents without even using his own computer. This can all be done from the safety of your home.

"Well, what are you waiting for... give me the LINK!". I'm sorry to tell you this, but seedboxes cost money, mainly monthly payments, and they're not that cheap either. But it still is worth it if you're someone who, is registered to multiple private trackers, has a crappy connection and wants to have a higher ratio than his friends at school.

Anyways, here's how you can get your own seedbox, if you're willing to pay some money.

1. Visit any one of the sites below. These are the best seedboxes I know of. Make sure you purchase a Windows-based server, because it will make life much easier. (The following are ordered according to rating)

LeaseWeb

SoftLayer

LayeredTech

Vectoral

Shinjiru

2. After you purchase a seedbox, the host will provide you with the following:

- The Server's IP Address (ex: 194.58.76.125)

- The Server Username (used to access your server)

- The Server password (used to access your server)

3. Once you have the information stated above, download the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).

4. After the installation process is complete, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories. You should have an option called Remote Desktop Connection. Click on it.

5. Once the RDC is open, enter the IP address your host provided you with.

6. After you connect to the server, you will be prompted to enter the username and password that were given to you.

7. If you've done everything correctly, you should have be able to see the desktop of your purchased server.

To start downloading torrents, just download uTorrent and install it to your newly purchased server. I hope this tutorial helped you in some way, and don't forget to always visit for more great tutorials and guides on P2P Heaven!

Adding a Private Tracker to ORC

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Software and Clients, Tips and Tricks, Tutorials

I posted about ORC earlier and how to use it properly and I also included a link to download a customized tracker list compatible with ORC. But some people out there might not be satisfied with the trackers on the list, so I was determined to show my readers how to add their own trackers to the list.

All you have to do is have ORC installed, if you haven't already. Once you're done, you can follow the instructions provided in the other post to help you search for open trackers. After you've done everything stated above, you can commence with reading the tutorial.

1. Open ORC and go to List> Add New Entry.

2. A small box will appear. To get the info needed for this part, head over to the tracker you want to add to the list.

3. Once there, try to find a word that, if not found, means that registrations are open. If you don't get what I mean, take a look at the picture.

4. If the phrase above isn't found on the page, it would most likely mean that registrations are open for your tracker.

5. Go back to ORC, and enter the required details, then click"OK".

Now your entry should be ready! Make sure to test it and check the results. I hope this tutorial worked for you, and if you have any questions, you can just post a comment.

How to Use the DC++ Client

Posted by Cyph0n Labels: Software and Clients, Tutorials

You may be wondering what the hell DC++ means, but it's pretty simple to understand. It's a P2P client, but unlike other clients, this one uses a process called Direct Connect. Direct Connect allows you to directly connect to a hub (or server) which other users from around the world are also connected to.

Once you're connected to a hub, you can search for files and download them from other users. Users can also download files from you, if you choose to share your files. Because this client uses a direct connection, the upload/download speeds are slightly higher than other file sharing clients. There are also download slots for each file. When these slots are full, you might not be able to download the file at all.

Overall, I think it's a great alternative to BitTorrent and other file sharing clients, and it is great to use once in a while. One of the only problems with this client is the limited number of files i.e. doesn't have a large amount of users.

If you'd like to try out this client, here's a simple tutorial that shows you how to start downloading files.

1. You'll need to download the DC++ client from here.

2. Once you've installed the client, open it and go to the Public Hubs tab.

3. A list of hubs should automatically pop-up. You can select which hub list to use using the drop-down arrow. If a list still doesn't appear, you can add hubs manually using these URLs:

http://dc.selwerd.nl/hublist.bz2
http://dreamland.gotdns.org/PublicHubList.config.bz2
http://www.neo-modus.com/PublicHubList.config
http://www.p2pitalia.com/dclist/Publ...ist.config.bz2
http://www.indx.f2s.com/hublist.config
http://www.freeweb.hu/pankeey/dc-hub...ubz.config.bz2
http://dcinfo.sytes.net/publichublist.config.bz2
http://www.hublist.org/PublicHubList.config.bz2

3. To connect to a hub, just double-click and a new tab will open automatically.

4. Once it says you're connected, click on the search button.

5. It will then open another tab with a search form on the left. Type whatever you are looking for in the bar and click "Search".

6. To download a file, first make sure there's a slot available, then right-click on the file and select "Download" from the menu.

7. Once your file starts to download, you can check the download stats at the bottom of the window.

Now you should know how to download your own files! Please help me by clicking some ads if you enjoyed this tutorial. Any questions are welcome, all you have to do is post a comment.
