if [ -z "$UA" ]; then
    echo "User Agent environment variable UA missing."
    echo "See, e.g., https://user-agents.net/browsers for examples."
    exit 1
fi

curl -A "$UA" -s https://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php \
    | sed -n "s/.*value='\(http:.*=p2p.*\)'.*/\1/p" \
    | xargs curl -A "$UA" -sL \
    | gunzip \
    | egrep -v '^#' \
    | uniq

Can anyone do an alternative list in dat format to using in utorrent?

appreciate the blocklist! thx

updated the script to fake its user agent since iblocklist is blocking curl.
PLEASE USE YOUR OWN USER AGENT STRING, supply it with an env var, e.g., UA='custom ua string' mkp2pblocklist.
choose any from this list: https://user-agents.net/browsers

@jerkstore369: also fixed, long ago actually.

many thx for the update

For whatever reason @glaszig file contains the following:

The Scary IPv4 Internets:0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
The Scary IPv6 Internets:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000-FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

I think iblocklist detects its own user agent and returns fake data.

I made an alternative in a GitHub repository.

looked at it. did you change something? the ua you’re using looks pretty normal.

I'm quite sure they blacklist your UA.
Do you try to refresh to a new one?

edit: I'm now getting a random UA user-agents.net, that will be more future proof ;)

curl 'https://user-agents.net/download' -X POST --data-raw 'download=txt&browser_bits=64&brower_type=browser&limit=100' > ua.txt
cat ua.txt | sort -R | head -1

iblocklist has become a bullshit operation with their automation and anti-scrapgin policies. is anybody aware of a better source?
