This was originally in the HN submission title, but this comment from the maintainer is mind-boggling:

> GitHub has confirmed that the block.txt file in the repo has been responsible for over 1 petabyte of bandwidth per day — mainly due to automated downloads (likely from Adobe’s Chrome extension). This is way beyond what a single repo is designed to handle and poses a risk of the repository being temporarily disabled as early as June 13.
