-I'm using the default lists. Why would a MS download mirror be in
the block lists?

The PeerBlock team isn't in charge of what goes in the lists, default or not. 
The
good people at Iblocklist.com is where you find the people who decide what goes 
in
the lists.

To answer the problem at hand, you could try whitelisting the Microsoft IP 
addresses.
Instructions on that are found in the forum.

Correction to above: The instructions are on the main page, not the forum. My 
mistake
there.

Yep, we actually have a couple of FAQs devoted to this topic:

- Something I need to access is blocked! What can I do?
(http://www.peerblock.com/docs/faq#how_to_allow)

- Why is "Some Company or Site" Blocked? 
(http://www.peerblock.com/docs/faq#why_blocked)

Closing this bug, since PeerBlock is doing what it's supposed to - blocking all 
IP
addresses in the lists you've told it to use.
