Transmission Blocklist

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

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

For the record, both URI work for me, and as of today 2025-05-06 both have 455,833 IPs.

By "both URI" I am referring to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/master/bt_blocklists.gz and the original URI https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/raw/master/bt_blocklists.gz. No issues with either.
