It most certainly does not block all the ranges used by Netsentry, Macrovision, and their ilk, we know this by comparing the ones we have detected on winmx against the ones on the blutak blocklists that pg uses, upon trying to pass these numbers on to blutak they took days to check out the information and sadly the media companies move faster than they do, 8 out of the 11 ip ranges given to then where swapped within 4 hours to other unlisted ones. Only the automated winmx blocklist was keeping folks safe whilst pg users where once again easy pickings for the media companies. The solution is rather simple, ensure pg can be updated more than once a day ( as opposed to once in 24 hours ), and a system needs to be devised for an open port listening method to indicate to users that an urgent update is ready for deployment, only these two modifications and a specialist team of watchers from each network to generate and maintain the lists is likely to keep p2p out of reach of the forces ranged against it.

If I understood the concept correctly, enabling obfuscation means to enable the <em>option</em> to communicate with other clients and servers encryptedly. If the remote client doesn't support obfuscation or doesn't have it switched on, we will communicate nonetheless. So although I have obfuscation turned on, I have a couple of Shareaza clients that I am connected to at the moment. @ 11: Leeching is no option. It's disgusting, the worst possible antisocial behaviour in an environment that relies on social behaviour. Not uploading is even worse for the network than all those anti-p2p-lobbying and monitoring. Everybody should use eMule Mods that support <abbr title="Dynamic Leecher Protection">DLP</abbr>, for instance <a href="http://www.xtreme-mod.net/" rel="nofollow">Xtreme</a> or <a href="http://scarangel.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">ScarAngel</a>.

If a site is being blocked that you really want to get to its easy enough to ....right click on the ip thats being blocked and either temp allow or perm allow it....simple...if you don't want to do that...right click on the pg icon in the system tray and click allow http....just remember to block http again after you leave the site...very simple indeed. And altho not 100% foolproof against being busted for illegal downloads it sure helps block the likes of netsafe and mediasentry. Well Steve Peer guardian is not crap.
