Hi folks You may be interested in the work of IRUS-UK, a developing service which consolidates COUNTER-compliant statistics to enable repositories to benchmark their usage against other repositories in the UK.
IRUS-UK is filtering out robots and spiders employing the UserAgent-based COUNTER robots exclusion list (http://www.projectcounter.org/documents/COUNTER_robot_txt_list_Jan_2011.txt which is mentioned in https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-790). For DSpace 1.8.x repositories, we're using patches developed by @mire. IRUS-UK follows on from the very successful PIRUS2 project, which demonstrated how article-level (COUNTER-compliant) usage statistics could be collected, JISC have provided funding to take forward the UK Institutional Repository aspects in the form of IRUS-UK. IRUS-UK is a wave 1 component of UK RepositoryNet+, the JISC funded repository and infrastructure service. IRUS is currently funded to establish a national aggregation service. It will ultimately contain details of all material downloaded from participating IRs, including downloads for full-text articles, theses, conference papers, technical reports, etc. IRUS will help to demonstrate the value and impact of institutional repositories and provide an evidence base for repositories to develop policies and initiatives to help support their objectives. IRUS-UK is being developed by a consortium involving Mimas at The University of Manchester, Cranfield University and Evidence Base at Birmingham City University. You can find our more by visiting our website which is available at http://www.irus.mimas.ac.uk. You are welcome to get in touch at i...@mimas.ac.uk if you would like further information.

I don't believe you'll find a better one in the format DSpace takes by default. But it wouldn't hurt to listen to the advice given elsewhere on the web when this question is asked - detect user agent strings instead of particular IPs (which may change in time). Of course, you'd need to modify DSpace to do that.
