-====== Peer Block Lists ======
+====== Automate Peer Block List Updates ======
+Torrent clients such as qBittorrent allow blocking p2p peers based on a provided blacklist. Since the blacklist may be updated periodically, it must be re-downloaded on a schedule.
+===== Windows =====
+For Windows and using only native tools, the peer block list can be downloaded using the task scheduler and bitsadmin. The following Windows task can be saved to a file and them imported in "Task Scheduler":
+<file xml download-peerblock.xml>
