Press release follows:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RE: PeerGuardian 2 Public Beta Is Out!

BY: Joseph Farthing and Cory Nelson

DATE: 2005-02-24

Hello friends,

The Methlabs staff are proud to announce that the
PeerGuardian version
2.0 public is now officially available on our website.
PeerGuardian 2,
the child of the original PeerGuardian has been in
development, from
scratch, for more than 7 months. The original PeerGuardian
was
developed many years ago, but this new system is more
accurate,
sophisticated and efficient than any previous version.

This beta release is intended to the last stage before a
definate 2.0
release. We think that our testing stages will have removed
any bugs
within the code, but we welcome all feedback from our
users.

WHAT IS IN THE BETA?

PeerGuardian 2 requires no driver installation, yet blocks
IP addresses
at a far higher speed than was previously available - never
above 1%
CPU on most test systems. On Windows 2000 and greater
PeerGuardian 2
blocks at a kernel level, acting against every protocol used
within the
windows system. On Windows 98 or Me it blocks TCP only* with
the same
high performance of the Windows 2000 version.

* due to technical reasons, kernel blocking in 98/ME is not
feasable

WHAT IS STILL TO COME?

The plugin system is still not complete, and some
improvements to the
GUI are yet to come. Other than that, the application is
fully
functional. A Linux/OSX version of PeerGuardian 2 is
currently in
development.

SIMPLICITY

PeerGuardian 2 is now totally automatic. You do not need to
install a
driver, simply run the program without any visits to the
control panel.
The new startup wizard makes things easier than ever.

The new startup wizard makes things easier than ever.

More detailed settings can be configured from the interface,
including
logging and the ability to prevent websites from being
blocked. A
single IP address may be allowed for a period of time, or
permanently,
solving the problem of bad IP addresses, and our new
reporting and
database management systems mean that you can play an active
roll in
preventing friendly IPs from being added.

BLOCKLIST.ORG DATABASES

The current P2P format database has been in existence since
the
original PeerGuardian was devised, and is now somewhat
dated. Some
changes and additions made to the database have made things
worse, not
better, and we've decided something needs to be done. A new
binary
format database has been developed, which massively reduces
the length
of time it takes to download the database. Our new IPDB (IP
Database)
pages are also open at http://blocklist.org,
allowing the user to submit ranges for inclusion in the
database, and
for ranges to be voted good or bad, and marked as
incorrect.

We hope that via community effort we can turn the sometimes
inaccurate
database into a much more accurate tool.

OPENNESS

PeerGuardian 2 is Open Source, meaning the program code is
available
online for anyone who wants it. Not only does this allow you
to make
modifications or even branch off into your own project, but
it
encourages peer review of the code making sure any bugs are
eliminated
swiftly. Because PeerGuardian 2 is Open Source, you can rest
assured
there are no back-doors or spy-ware included.

We hope you enjoy PeerGuardian 2, feel free to comment on
our software,
and distribute it among your friends.

Sincerely,

Joseph Farthing and Cory Nelson on behalf of the Methlabs
staff.

(I am available for contact about this: JFM at Methlabs dot
org)

Anyway,

This basically blocks all IP addresses that are bad. Govt,
Spyware etc...

That'd be very aces if you could, ta. By the way, your
package is in the post, should be there soon.

I hope it's less of a resource hog than version 1, it tends
to go bananas for me at times, 90% plus cpu usage and all
that.

i cant get it either:

The mirror you've selected, easynews.dl.sourceforge.net
does not currently have the file you requested. (This is an
error on our part which will be fixed).

You are requesting file: /peerguardian/pg2-050224-nt.exe
Please select a mirror

I seem to remember that trying to find a working download
for version 1 was a real bugger too. Hmm.

This IS a mystery.

I was wondering why version 1's blocklist was never updated.
I feel as though mine has been the same forever

Ah, thanks. Is there a decent new blocklist floating around?
The automatic update only gives the ever-so-comforting
statistic of "Blocking 0 IPs".

Its blocking 0 ip's?

Beta is the keyword here evidently. I am not going to bother
installing this until further information is retrieved.

Although i am going to offer Chris here a chance to download
an episode of Dirty Latina Maids for his goodness! :D
