streaming should override an ipfilter.dat block on 127.0.0.1

I tried out the 3.0 beta today, and it took me hours to figure out how to get streaming to work. There were several threads in the forums about people having similar problems, where streaming suddenly stopped working, with no answers. It turns out that some of the widely used ipfilter.dat lists exclude 127.0.0.1, which breaks streaming. That seems silly to me, but no one who uses these public lists is going to be going over them with a fine-toothed comb to weed out the silliness; most users won't even know how. Someone who deliberately starts streaming a video clearly doesn't want localhost blocked. It makes sense to have streaming override any ipfilter setting that blocks utorrent from streaming.

Which is the reason they don't protect you from anything other than using your internet connection properly.
