It is compiled from many sources, including the lists from BlueTack Internet Security Systems
and my own scans of the network for defective nodes, over a dozen types of trojan, the top ten
worms and about a dozen classes of spam. It was started in 2004 for BearShare, then LimeWire
started using it in 2006 and FrostWire acquired the capability soon afterwards. It has grown to
fit the task over the past 5 years and has become effective against all kinds of hazards while
enhancing performance (despite it's size) due to steadily improving intelligence on every kind
of threat on gnutella. It now averages 400,000 rules, effectively blocking everything but us.
Needless to say, this makes for a large list. It tend to cut the noise level down so you can get
some searching done without having to wade through mountains of trash. Now it's just hills.
Place "hostiles.txt" into the settings folder:
- Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\Application Data\FrostWire
or C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\.frostWire - Vista: C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Roaming\FrostWire
(You may have to change a setting in Explorer to be able to see this folder.
In the Tools menu, it's Folder Options and in the View tab turn on "Show hidden files and folders".) - Mac OSX: Macintosh HD\Users:YOUR_NAME\Library\Preferences\FrostWire
- linux: /home/YOUR_NAME/.frostwire
PLEASE REMEMBER TO DELETE THE PREVIOUS LISTS!
They go stale and should be replaced often.
