uTorrent IPFilter Updater

For all you hardcore uTorrenters out there, here's a little goodie I made for you - the uTorrent Filter Updater. Sounds fancy, but in reality it's nothing more than a batch file, gunzip, and wget cobbled together by a nice, shiny, noob-friendly WinRAR self-extractor.

As you may or may not know, uTorrent can do IPFiltering using data in an ipfilter.dat file. This potentially means getting the MPAA/RIAA off your back when you are in the middle of...unsavory activities. The updater uses the weekly-updated list from BISS/Bluetack. I was really getting tired of manually visiting the site and downloading, so why not do it the lazy/nerdy way and automate the damn process?

Once you've downloaded it just extract to the location of your choice, navigate to the new folder and run update.cmd (yeah, I know it's a shitty batch script but it definitely gets the job done). Any old ipfilter.dat file you have will be automagically replaced.
