Package: transmission Version: 2.03-2 Severity: normal Transmission developers have stopped hosting level1 blocklist file which broke blocklist updates for older Transmission releases (versions >= 2.10 are not affected as they allow changing the blocklist url.
It can be fixed in a number of ways: - Debian can start hosting level1 blocklist (and update them daily from some other blocklist provider) - We can point transmission to another blocklist provider - We can disable this option in the menu All changes require patches, first one is the best - most blocklists that you can find on the internet are in gzipped form and transmission 2.03 doesn't support it. Pointing Transmission to another blocklist provider would require us to find one who provides unpacked list, and is willing to allow all Debian users use it for the life of squeeze. We have the same problem with transmission 1.93 in Ubuntu, and I'm trying to find a place to host the list on some ubuntu machine, but it may take some time, and admins may not even accept that. Because of that, and the fact that Debian is also affected, I've decided to report it to BTS and see if maybe you'll have more luck with Debian sysadmins. :) Cheers, KK
