It would be interesting to define the path of the filter list as a url, to avoid having to download the list manually every time, for example
http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_lev ... eformat=gz

Are there any plans of adding this?
And yes I know about Peerblock, but that program is so irritating. It blocks WoW, Steam, etc.

Peerblock/public lists only hurt the swarm / your own peer.
Just don't use them at all.

Some filter even block local subnetworks, lol. There is no way to identify IP blocks like this.
Let's say it blocks a range of IPs associated with a big company. That company owns a hosting.
That hosting got rented servers. Wow, it just blocked a range of seed servers.
There is no gain, only pain here.

It's just like killing a hamster with an atomic bomb, absolutely overdone!
Seriously though, most FAQs or forums posts you'll see from tracker admins or siteops will say the same : don't use peerblock. Blocking ip-ranges will inevitably block a ton of good peers, especially seedboxes (but also home connections on certain networks).

Read through this thread gives me reason, I no longer use the anti-p2p list but I do still use peerblock with spyware and advertising enabled. If only for the browsing safety, no longer benefit torrents.
Even still I see no difference other than it no longer lists a million plus/day blocks from China which I can only assume is/was for keeping the DHT alive.
