Vista - Peer Guardian

Peer Guardian

Ok, a friend pointed this out to me as a great program to use. I download it..and it doesn't work. They don't have an official Vista build yet, but they have a page that tells you how to work around it. I think I've done everything right, main thing is that Vista's driver signature stops it, b/c Phoenix Labs hasn't purchased one yet, so I disable that and all should work fine, but I get a failed file error instead. I assume it's from a corrupt file, when downloading, but I've tried several downloads and nothing worked. So anyone have any ideas on how to get it working, or anyone have a program that works the same as PG? Thanks

If you are using uTorrent their built in ipfilter works much like peer guardian.

Yea, I am using uTorrent. So it works the same, masking your own IP, keeping it off tracker lists. That's why my friend is using it.

It blocks known IP's from seeing what you are doing.

Re: Peer Guardian

There is really more to it all than that, but it's out of the scope of this forum. I would breeze through the uTorrent wiki or the PG forums for a better explanation.

Re: Peer Guardian

Yea, I know, I was just looking for anyone having the same problem, relating to vista, with PG. I've been to PG's forums, but all they usually say is here's the page with what you should do...which hasn't worked. But we'll see, haven't had any problems yet, but i'll run through the forums again and see if there's anything new.
