Have to take a closer look at it, but it seems the linux command needs to be a different format. I guess you figured that out!

Not quite sure of the problem it's solving.

Linux – instead of ipfw use iptables command

sudo iftables add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in
sudo: iftables: command not found

It's "iptables" not "iftables".

But the parameters for iptables is also different for linux, so they need to be adjusted as well. And the web site says modifying the router, if you have one, is what needs to be done, in which case Linux is not involved at all.

Sorry about that. I was in a hurry there before.

Here is what I got now:

~$ sudo iptables add reject src-ip 173.194.55.0/24 in
Bad argument `add'
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

This thing is supposed to make youtube videos faster by stopping the two ip addresses from slowing it down. That's all I know.

It's for windows but the terminal commands are different for linux as you know and I'm hoping someone will know exactly what the command is if this does indeed work.

Try this:

sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP

sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j DROP

Let me know...

dave@das-vortex:~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP
[sudo] password for dave:
dave@das-vortex:~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP
dave@das-vortex:~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j DROP
dave@das-vortex:~$

That is exactly what happens when I put that and enter.

That means it accepted the command. How are your youtube downloads now?

I just loaded a 1080p youtube vid and it loaded faster than it played which is more than fast enough.

I'd have to do a speed comparison to know if it's any faster.

Thank you for your help with the linux, Neil :)

Thank you for your help with the linux, Neil :)

Cool. You're welcome.

You will need to run the command each time your computer is rebooted.

To do that automatically, you should add the commands to the bottom of your rc.local file (should be located at /etc/rc.local, though perhaps it can be in a different location with different distros of linux).

My rc.local file ends with "exit 0". The commands should be placed before it. Any basic text editor can be used to edit that file, though first change the permissions to allow you to edit it:

sudo chmod 777 /etc/rc.local

before editing and

sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.local

after you make the changes.

I found the file, thank you but am hung up on getting the changed file saved. I'll work on it later and let you know then.
