1)The Peerguardian antip2p filter (http://www.methlabs.org/sync/) is much bigger than the given ipfilter.dat (almost 7000 lines bigger).
Which one is the most uptodate? (I can actually guess that!) Up to date? hard to know. probably both are more or less the same. But loafing a large ipfilter requieres quite some CPU/MEM usage and might not be really a good idea in some environments, depending on what it is actually filtering.

2)Two filtering levels are defined, one in the ipfilter.dat file and another in preferences->security->ip-filter-filtering level.
Which one applies?
No idea, sorry. Ask Phoenix at forums or at aMule's IRC channel.I guess the one at preferences is the one used unless the file already assiges one (AFAIK, there's no way to have a file to hard-set a security number, but if you say it does...).
Why are there so many filtering levels (0,1,...127,128,...)???
There are so many so that you can decide what to filter and what to not filter without having to re-edit the whole file. Just changing the security value in Preferences.

Greetings!

I have a question to this:

NOTE: aMule's ipfilter.dat file is 100% compatible with eMule's (eMule's PeerGuardian format, which is the most popular. The antip2p.txt format isn't yet supported).

Question: On blocklist.org, where you can download PeerGuardian blocklists, there are 3 versions available. Is aMule's ipfilter.dat compatible to all versions? I'd like to use a customized Version1 list (PeerGuardian plain text).

I have really no idea at all. Please test and report what you find out :)
