No offense to AnandTech or any of the other sites I visit, but I'm getting sick of these stupid banner ads. (who on EARTH wants to see a freaking Rick Martin ad from buy.com?!?!)

Isn't there a list of IPs that I can block from accepting?

I haven't seen an ad in a long time. Why don't you just find out the server of the ad itself (right click on the ad, click Properties, and see what the URL is)? My guess is they're all coming from one or 2 main servers.

Oohh... It's on Akaimi. And there are a bunch of downloads that use akaimi.. Maybe this won't work after all...

The ads share a common URL but are load balanced off multiple servers. I'm banning by IP and I have about 20 IPs in my list and I only have about half the ad servers blocked.
