> The file is no longer hosted at john.bitsurge.net and never will be again. It languished unmaintained for a very long time anyway. My suggestion to you is to run the script(s) yourself now and then. Anyone hosting iblocklists lists will eventually be asked to stop.
Personally, I have switched to using https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists.
