Ahhh, ok then.

I went to iblocklist.com and have to give them props for the extensive and thorough listing of blocked ip's. Truly impressive. It sounds like PeerBlock offers up an easy to use block list capability, as well, from reading their site. Didn't think of the torrent side of it and now that I have I'm downloading PeerBlock.

Thanks for posting!

Edit: Does it mistakenly block sites that you'd normally go that don't have any issues that would warrant PeerBlock blocking the ip?

I have had it block some sites such as yahoo or even google. Generally I turn it on when torrenting and off when just surfing the web. I use it like i use Tor; if i know I'm going somewhere sketchy it's better to be safe and all that.

Good to know. I don't use Tor, but I do like to torrent shows once in awhile.
