How to use packed-blocklist?

[chaos369]

It's printed when start up, any details about blocklist?

This is an attempted to load the compact-representation IP blocklist that you can produce from common "blocklist" sets available on the internet. It really should be documented better. The log message just informs you that the file wasn't found.

I'm open to thoughts on how to handle this better, and documentation improvements.

@chaos369 also thank you for the battery of issues, the polish is lacking in many places and it takes someone else to point it out.

It's a pleasure to help a bit for wonderful stuffs. I tried the list from iblocklist.com, but it can't be load directly. Would you please guide me to convert these data to the "packed" format?

There's a cmd to repack this into the packed for supported by anacrolix/torrent: https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent/tree/master/iplist/cmd. Sorry it's all undocumented.
