== What blocklist does Transmission Use? ==

Transmission can use any [http://www.bluetack.co.uk/ bluetack]-formatted blocklist.

When you press the `Update Blocklist' button in the Transmission, a new copy of the bluetack level1 blocklist is downloaded from a [http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/level1.gz Transmission mirror] that's updated twice daily.

== Adding Other Blocklists ==

Transmission stores blocklists in a folder named {{{blocklists}}} in its [ConfigFiles configuration folder].

In that directory, files ending in ".bin" are the bluetack files that Transmission has parsed into a
binary format suitable for quick lookups.  When transmission starts, it scans this directory for
files not ending in ".bin" and tries to parse them.  So to add another blocklist, all you have to
do is put it in this directory and restart Transmission.

== Using Blocklists in transmission-daemon ==

Since transmission-daemon doesn't have an "update blocklist" button, its users have two options.
They can either copy blocklists from transmission's directory to transmission-daemon's directory,
or [http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/level1.gz download the level1 blocklist by hand], uncompress it, and place the uncompressed file in the daemon's {{{blocklists}}} folder.
In both cases, you'll need to edit the daemon's [wiki:ConfigFiles settings.json file] to enable the "blocklist-enabled" setting.
