Here you can find a regularly updated IP filter list (ipfilter.dat) for use with popular P2P clients like eMule, cdonkey etc. The file includes a list of malicious IP ranges which may disturb the proper function of your system and the sharing networks. For security reasons it's recommended to block those potential hazards.

There are 2 block lists available. ipfilter_full.dat contains all potentially dangerous IP ranges. If you are purely interested in making your P2P sharing a little bit saver, it's recommended to use the smaller ipfiter.dat file. It contains only the reserved IANA address ranges, the Anti-P2P list and Bad Hashes/Fakes. The benefit of this list is that it is only one third of the size of the full one resulting in much faster loading times and better performance due to reduced filtering.

A similar guarding.p2p filter list for use with MLdonkey and Peerguardian/Protowall is available here.

Download abuse:

The filterlists are updated once a week only. Therefore it is not required to download them several times a day again and again and again.

Please do not download the filterlists more than once a week!!! It is useless and it disturbs other users.

To give everybody a fair share, users failing to follow this policy will be permanently blocked without further discussion.
