Ubuntu 9.04 Ktorrent 3.2.1 Everything has worked great until this last month, and then, this error started showing up.

Every week, generally late Friday, I manually down splist.zip from http://blocklistpro.com/download-center/ip-filters/

I have a special file I put the downloaded splist.zip file into on my system at /home/lucky/Ktorrent/splist--ktorrent and I also have ktorrent's PeerGuardian filter IP Filter File pointed to the same address to grab the splist.zip file. So, I overwrite the old splist.zip file with the new one each week.

Which means, all I have to do is click "download/convert" on Ktorrent, and it grabs the splist.zip file out of my folder, asks if I want to reconvert it again since it exists already from last time I did this, and I say yes, and it converts it counting off the percentage completed and finsihes.

But then it gives me this error box: There are no IP addresses to convert in /home/lucky/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/level1.txt

I have been to that url of /home/lucky/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/level1.txt and it appears to me that level1.txt exists and there are indeed IP addresses in it! But when I click OK on the error box, the level1.txt file vanishes.

Here is a sample of what is in level1.txt before I click OK on the error box----

What is going wrong?
Thanks for your help

The format has changed, KT looks for a : not a ,

I'm gonna make the blocklist parsing more flexible, so this can be supported properly.

Thanks George! I guess I will see if I can get an editor to globally swap : for , in the meantime.

Have a great day!

Hello Folks!

I just followed the instructions, swapped all , to : (vi is the tool). I even removed all the Carriage Return's from the end of
the lines, and cut out only a few lines. I ended up with a splist.txt which exactly contains that:

004.000.038.000 - 004.000.038.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co
004.000.159.000 - 004.000.159.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co
004.000.181.000 - 004.000.182.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co
004.001.075.000 - 004.001.075.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co
004.001.129.000 - 004.001.140.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co
004.001.143.000 - 004.001.144.255 : 000 : Level 3 Co


When using this as an input file (zipped or not) I still get message:
There are no IP addresses to convert in /home/hp/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/level1.txt
Before pressing the OK Button I can find a level1.txt and a level1.zip file in the .../.kde/....ktorrent
directory. These are identical to my splist files. After pressing the OK button the two level1* files
disappear.


I am using ktorrent 3.2.1 on Kubuntu Jaunty Jackalop

Any ideas what I could do about this situation?

Yes. The same thing happened to me when I did the swap, also.

You also need to remove the spaces around the - between the two IP addresses of each line.

Seeing that this is a rather annoying problem, I'm gonna backport the more flexible parsing code to the stable branch and release 3.2.4.

Sorry, that didn't work either. First I removed the blanks between the two IP adresses,
then all the blanks in the file. Both attempts ended with the same message as before.

So I downloaded the Splist file, and extracted the txt.

I then removed the spaces around the " - ", as advised.

Also changed the "," to ":". But that didn't work.

Then I saw someone else posting a different format of file in their thread.

So I just chopped out everything after the IP ranges.

from a terminal:
cut -c 1-31 splist.txt > splist.txt2

Now, all my file was, was a list of IP ranges, separated by a "-" with no spaces. nothing else.
eg:
000.000.000.001-003.255.255.255
004.000.025.146-004.000.025.148
004.000.026.014-004.000.029.024
004.000.038.000-004.000.038.255
...etc

then i opened the .txt2 file in ktorrent, clicked download/convert, and it seemed to work. It at least says something is loaded.

hope that's useful to someone until the parser gets tweaked.

cheers,

salem

Upgrade to 3.2.4, it will support all possible formats. The only thing it requires is that there are 2 IP addresses in each line, the first one will be taken as the start of the range, and the second one as the end.

Tried

Code: Select all

cut -d' ' -f1,3 splist.txt | tr ' ' : > blocklist.txt

which seemed to work.

Hi everyone!

First I dont speak english so have patience. "No IP Addresses to Convert in PeerGuardian Filter File" is still happening in ktorrent-3.3 when in the dialog box a direction like
http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1 is given. If a local file is given a convertion process is started but there is no message of success or no failure; and if you look in
FILE>IPFILTER box you see it is empty so I think than the ipfilter is inactive.

It would be nice get this one working.

Lot of Thanks

This is now fixed

Not in 3.2.4 it isn't.

Fresh install and there it is, loud & proud

"There are no IP addresses to convert in /snip/snip/home/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/level1.txt"

Hold on, it might be

if you have a split.zip with an error it gives the same error.
