Title: Don't ip filter a given file
Post by: i23098 on August 30, 2005, 03:05:51 AM

There should be a option in the file contex to select "Don't ipfilter".

My ISP charges differently for national traffic and international traffic, so I have an ipfilter.dat that allows only national trafic, but sometimes there are files that are only available internationally or have very few sources. In that files I would like to disable the ip filter...

There are windows emule clients that does this and more (updates ipfilter...) for the portuguese users (http://pwp.netcabo.pt/DeepSea/ and http://koizo.sourceforge.net/) that I use, but are windows only  :(

Disabling the ipfilter for a given file would also mean that the file could be shared ignoring the ipfilter file...

I made a quick peak to the latest cvs source code, and this seems a simple enhancement (with huge advantages, at least for most portuguese users  :)) ).

From what I understood the IPFilter.cpp mantains the filtered IP's, but it's the responsability of the other components the call to check (IsFiltered). This way, the change required would be in PartFile.cpp, adding a new boolean attribute (allowFilter), and instead  of calling IsFiltered, call allowFilter && IsFiltered (if allowFilter is false, it wouldn't check filter).

If I'm correct, then the hardest part would be making the GUI (which I understant nothing  ;():
    - Add to Context menu "Don't ipfilter this file"
    - Show that the file isn't filtered (e.g. put the background color yellow in the line of the file)

Can someone agree/disagree with me  ?(

Are just the portuguese users that have different traffic limitations (national/international)  ?(  ;(

I've heard this several time now, but only from Portugal and Estonia (?)...

I think that this would be a little bit unfair. Ok, international clients can download from you after some time if you opened the ip but only some/opened one.
Another point is that you can't find an international ip if your ipfilter works correctly so you can't get them as a source and can't open them.

I can hardly believe that a neighbor from spain, the aMue country ;), can be so cruel to his p2p community. If countries like New Zealand do it which are at the end of the world I can unterstand it a little bit but portugal? I would do pressure on the isps so that they open the nationalnet to the internet without costs.

I don't get the point where you think it would be unfair, Mr Faber. You have to separate two things here:
- There ARE already ipfilter.dat which block all IP adresses that are not inside portugal. The way IP filtering works ALL connections are blocked, upload and download. That is fair IMO.

- i23098 asks for a possibilty to disable IP filtering for some files. So he would be uploading to / download from international clients. Certainly nothing unfair in here.

The whole situation (portuguese(?) ISPs charging differently for national / international traffic) IS unfair / not good / not what the internet is all about. But that is a little off the topic of this thread...

I i´m also a portuguese user of aMule, and I use Mac OS X. I agree with this post.

Já agora como carregas o ipfilter.dat no aMule?

I might agree with this.

The national/international trafic distinction in Portugal sucks, but thats the way we stand at the moment. And of course there are lots of protests about this matter.

If it's possible to have a simple fix implementing the per-file filtering than whould be a great thing to aMule because it represents the possibility increase the number of file shares.

imho

Maybe this is of some interest to you:

thedude0001, you have seriously misunderstood something. The patch I committed to SVN is not to turn on/off IP filtering for files one-by-one, but to select whether to filter clients, servers or both. The bug report (feature request) can be found here (http://bugs.amule.org/view.php?id=954)
