How to Manually Ban an IP address in uTorrent

Dear Friends,

Today I’ll tell you the procedure to ban IP addresses in uTorrent application. This is very helpful when someone (any leechers) doesn’t listen to you and tries to download and run all the time from you. And you always thought like there is nothing you can do about it?

Actually there is a way to stop that leecher.

Steps-

(1)   Go to

            C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent

           {Note- If your AppData folder is hidden then just type %AppData%\uTorrent in RUN
                       command prompt.}

(2)   Create a new text file and name it ipfilter.dat

(3)   Open it with a Text Editor (eg.- Notepad)

(4)   In the document add IP in the following format

             Start IP - End IP , 000 ,

           

             Example: If the IP you want to ban is 202.89.73.131 you need to enter 202.89.73.131 - 202.89.73.131 , 000 ,

(5)   Now Save & Close the file.

(6)   Navigate to uTorrent > Options > Preferences > Advanced

(7)   Enable ipfilter.dat

            (If value is set to 'false' click on it and click on the 'true' button)

(8)   Close uTorrent & Restart uTorrent

          {Note- This will be a permanent ban and if you decide to unban someone then you will have to edit it.}

 That's all.
