Hey guys. Here is a new product out in beta, which should help with the bad downloads/blank files/cuckoo eggs out there. It’s a mini firewall for P2P which blocks all connections to known bad files sharers (like OverPeer, etc). It’s also going to be blocking known email miners, stalkers, spammers and surveillance companies.
It’s a beta so it doesn’t do the most efficient job, which would be to block bogus search results (FastTrack has those locked out with their encryption), but it does stop Kazaa from connecting to the bogus files so you don’t waste time downloading them. It also flashes on the tool bar when actively blocking, so you will know the “more sources needed” is the bad apple.
The initial block list is small, but the list will rapidly fill.
Find the beta application at PeerBuddy for P2P Beta Download, no Ad-ware, Spy-ware or viruses.
