Multiple blocklists?

Can Transmission handle multiple blocklists? If not, which is the best list to use? I'm currently using Bluetack's level 1 list ( http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz )

System:
Ubuntu 8.10 Server amd64 - no gui
Transmission 1.51 CLI - using built in web gui / watchdog script / blocklist is enabled

According to the wiki, Transmission will attempt to parse any blocklists in its application folder (~/Library/Application\ Support/Transmission/blocklists ~/.config/transmission/blocklists)

Adding Other Blocklists

Transmission stores blocklists in a folder named blocklists in its configuration folder.

In that directory, files ending in ".bin" are the bluetack files that Transmission has parsed into a binary format suitable for quick lookups. When transmission starts, it scans this directory for files not ending in ".bin" and tries to parse them. So to add another blocklist, all you have to do is put it in this directory and restart Transmission.
