💻 Before you start

Use a Windows PC with:

• A modern version of Windows
• Internet access for the first download
• Enough space for the blocklist file you want to convert
• Permission to run files from your Downloads folder

You do not need programming skills to use this tool.

🧭 Typical workflow

A simple flow looks like this:

1. Download a FireHOL or other .netset blocklist.
2. Open it in netset2p2p.
3. Convert it into PeerGuardian format.
4. Save the result as a .p2p file.
5. Use that file in qBittorrent or another compatible client.

📁 What the output file is for

The .p2p file works as an IP filter list.
Torrent clients can use it to block connections to known IP ranges.

This can help you:

• Filter unwanted peers
• Apply list-based blocking inside your torrent client
• Keep one shared list in a format many clients support

🔍 Supported list types

netset2p2p is made for lists such as:

• FireHOL blocklists
• Other .netset IP range lists
• IPv4-based blocklists
• IPv6-based blocklists when the source list includes them

🧰 Common use cases

Use this tool if you want to:

• Convert a .netset list into PeerGuardian format
• Prepare a blocklist for qBittorrent
• Work with IP filters without editing files by hand
• Reuse the same list across different torrent tools

📌 File types you will see

Here is what the main file types mean:

• .netset — the source list you download
• .p2p — the output file you use in supported torrent clients
• .txt — may appear if you open or inspect the source list

🧪 If qBittorrent does not load the file

Try these steps:

1. Check that the file ends in .p2p.
2. Make sure the file was saved after conversion.
3. Confirm qBittorrent points to the correct file path.
4. Recreate the file from the source list.
5. Try a different blocklist if the source file is damaged.

🔐 Safety tips

• Download only from the release page linked above
• Keep the source .netset file from a known list provider
