Linux Replacements for Windows Programs

[altman]

Nice ideas LL-User !

I use qbittorrent but I've no idea how it compares with other ones, I used to use utorrent.

For a blocklist I use this script

Code:

   #!/bin/bash
   
    ##remove & backup old list
    rm -f blocklst.p2p.old
    mv blocklst.p2p blocklst.p2p.old

    ## Get the lists
   

    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1 -O l1-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_spyware -O spy-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_ads -O ads-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_templist -O bp-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_hijacked -O hijack-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_dshield -O hack-z
    wget http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=ijfqtofzixtwayqovmxn -O threat-z

    ## Merge the lists

    cat l1-z spy-z ads-z bp-z hijack-z hack-z threat-z > blocklst.p2p.gz

    ## Decompress

    gunzip blocklst.p2p.gz

    ## Clean individual list files

    rm -f *-z

I've no idea if it's a good list and any ideas to improve it will be very gratefully received my friends.

Thanx for this one Brian , I rarely use either uGet or Deluge . Never used or knew qbittorent existed .
