apparently methlabs, the guys who make Peerguardian have been having a lot of trouble: The majority of the Methlabs.org administration and development team have been forced out of their web site following a series of threats and incidents. The member of the group that had been trusted to handle the finances and servers slowly managed to take over each individual part of the web site's assets, eventually claiming control over the entire group and locking out the majority of staff. The organisation's founders, Tim Leonard and Ken McKelland, as well as the majority of the organisation's staff and developers (including the main developer of the PeerGuardian2 application, Cory Nelson and the staff members responsible for auditing the PeerGuardian Blocklists) have all been forcibly removed from the servers that were funded from donations given to the organisation by happy users, and from text advertising placed on the web sites forum and project pages. The money, which was to have been used to help fund the development and hosting costs of the group is now unavailable, stolen by the one who was trusted to keep it. Development of PeerGuardian will resume, and the web site will temporarily move to http://peerguardian.sf.net/ until a new domain is registered and a new server found. The intention of the group is to register a non-profit organisation to handle the development of Methlabs applications and to promote open source projects that aid both security, privacy and peer-to-peer technologies, in order to prevent a repeat of this incident. Update: We have a new home at . and I was wondering why my Peerguardian couldn't update its blocklists.. |

any news on this? i just got peerguardian, and every time i try to get it to update its lists (from peerguardian.sourceforge.net, not blocklists.org) it crashes. are there alternative, newer URLs that I should be using instead? |

The latest version of Peer Guardian has been working perfectly here. |

there's a button on the top-right - "Allow HTTP" or "Block HTTP". handy for when browsing the internets. |

cheers, just noticed that after posting. is there any reason why it should be enabled then? |

old tommy was no use either. all i could get out of him was: "and you can say what you want about anger management, but if it's between ME and a crack squirrel, i would take that squirrel down, i would take that squirrel down to chinatown" |

I hope the people of Peerguardia are okay, and and some kind of peace accord can be signed to end the troubles. |
