A question regarding IP filters

[Tomaso]

If you download the IP filter (in .DAT format) from emulefuture.de here:
http://ip-filter.emulefuture.de/
..then qBittorrent loads the filter with this message in the execution log:
"Successfully parsed the provided IP filter: 323593 rules were applied."

But if you download the IP filter (in .P2P format) from emule-security.org here:
http://emule-security.org/
..then qBittorrent loads the filter with this message in the execution log:
"Successfully parsed the provided IP filter: 0 rules were applied."

Is this a bug, or is the .P2P file provided at emule-security.org in an eMule-only compatible format?

Read https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... erthread.h

Both .dat and .p2p files you've provided look exactly the same (structure is the same).

In .p2p files data should be separated with ":" in .dat with "-"
Both files have "-" separators, which means the extension on .p2p file is wrong. And since qBt doesn't do any heuristics to determine file format (it just uses extension provided) it silently fails.

Indeed..

Simply changing the extension from P2P to DAT fixed it!:
"Successfully parsed the provided IP filter: 229251 rules were applied."

LOL! Don't know why I didn't try this before
Thanks, Dayman!
