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)

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.

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
