Just put those in the hosts file on your PC against 127.0.0.1 or some other invalid local ip, and they will effectively be blocked.
A simple batch file could switch your hosts file (+ clear arp table and dns cache) so you can choose when to get updates.
Another option is to put them into windows firewall using the "netsh advfirewall" commands. This could also be scripted to reverse them on demand.
