Curl and other stuff

Hello,
I'm here to ask if theres any way to make a list that will ban automaticaly accounts that are abusing of the bandwith with a predefined list of scripts for example (or just add rules in the firewall to block sites like megaupload).
Because blocking port 80 is not a durable solution as it handicap normal users, being able to retrieve informations from other websites is very useful.

Sorry if my english is bad, i'm french, and learnt english at school.

Thank you in advance.

We have automatic bans as well, but it has proven to not be enough in the process of fighting abuse, which is why we took this decision.

For rapidleech type scripts adding known sites to firewall block could work, but the majority of abuse has been coming from users uploading various types of proxy scripts, which does not come with a list of sites we can block to make them unusable.

We add one script to the automatic ban, just to realize there's 5 new ones coming in and causing trouble before we manage to add those (modified) scripts to the automatic process as well.
