Default banned IP ranges

A feature I'd like to see is a banned IP list. A list of banned IPs, that we can add to, or update automatically upon login. That way we could keep clear of leachers, virus kiddies, and RIAA affiliates. PeerGuardian has a pretty good one, for example. I used to use it when K++ came out.

PeerGuardian is crap, it only gives you a *false* sense of security therefore it IS useless, besides all it did was take up my CPU usage.

Its senseless only a few people have a static IP address all others have a dynamic which changes every time when you connect!

You might want to back that up with a few details. You say "therefore" as if saying "PeerGuardian is crap" is a solid fact.

Morgwen is right about that though.

The RIAA or its auditing agencies located worldwide are smart enough to use standard Internet connections from various standard and common ISPs, so that you can't say which IP they use. If you discover them one day, the next day they will be on other connections, or their upstream ISP will have given them a new dynamic IP.
such filters are quite ineffective. If you detect them, it's only after the fact has been reported. A central police or authority will first attempt to use their own network, but if there are evidence that you are blocking them, they will try with other connections as well. It's so fast for them to switch their dynamic IPs: disconnect reconnect with a new session... a matter of less than 1 second if performed from fast networks connected to ISPs infrastructures...
