I did research for a week on this..looking at swarms and IPs that are not even in safepeers, but they are slowing the swarm down very nicly to a damn crawl and you'll have to seed for days , instead of few hours!
There is something like this http://www.dessent.net/linblock/ for iptables and etc and I can easily make a script for ipfilter also.
bittorrent protocol is a complete mess..you got spammers/hackers and malicious people on top of mpaa and etc..all into the mix..
and then you got stories like this http://opentracker.blog.h3q.com/?p=29
that peerguardian just lists ranges of ip blocks sometimes without any legit reason.
I got a user in Oman that his whole ISP block is in peerguardian, but he a legit user and he seeds and etc..
anyways..let me know what u guys come up with ..for the tracker...we'll have to experiement with it ..,
one thing is for sure..it'll protect trackers against bad evil people..and it'll speed up the swarms ..but it also might block legit IPs ..then we'll have to work thru that.
