Peerguardian will not work w/Lion. Any alternatives?

[munkery]

Hi, I realize this is an old thread but does this still stand true? Anything out there like Peerguardian what are folks using nowadays?

BTW if I do use a blocklist through Transmission this is only working while I'm running the app and a torrent right, wouldn't you want this active at all times though?

Using the block list feature in Transmission is limited to that client only.

Peer Guardian does function across all clients so it does provide a greater amount if protection if using other clients that benefit from this type of protection.

But, unless using apps that benefit from this type of protection, you don't really need to run block list functionality.

Updated Working Version

http://bergstrand.org/brian/software/bin/PeerGuardian_180b2.zip

p.s. If it still doesn't seem to work after this update, try "Quit Helpers", "Quit" and then relaunch. The kernel extension version should be 1.1.13:

$ kextstat | grep xxx
233 0 0xffffff7f8292d000 0x5000 0x5000 xxx.qnation.PeerGuardian (1.1.13) <5 4 3 1>
