Whoops!
I had a reply almost finished and made the mistake of trying to look at your list.
Firefox really hates four megabyte long web pages for some reason.

Anyway, your list is compatible. The only difference in format is I never leave
out the mask for single IP address blocks. This makes the list much easier to
sort, compare and merge because all of the lines have exactly the same
format. If Phex can deal with that you may as well mirror my list or merge it
with yours. The master copy is always at:

I update it at unpredictable intervals deliberately because some of the worst
offenders have been caught watching and waiting for me before changing
locations. [ Wankers. ] Check it once a week and that should be good
enough for now. It would be an amazingly powerful tool if you get Phex to
update it's copy automatically from your site roughly once a week. Since my
list is usually about ten megabytes you may as well host that resource in
zipped form to cut the download length and time to about 15% of the raw list.

I'll just run a quick compare here… …yep, thought so. You're using some of
the BlueTack lists too. Mine adds another 150,000 or so individual IPs from
direct scans of the gnutella world for the most pervasive worms, spam and
fakes. If Phex uses the list to clean up search results you definitely want to
run my list.


That k3w1 GNUville insider definition of "free" software is opaque to the rest of
the world. By that exact definition (yes, all four of those bulleted points)
b25 is "free" to me because I was one of the beta testers and virtually all of my
suggestions and requests went into it over the years. I may as well have
written the program myself. If you had said "Open Source" it would have been
perfectly clear. So there.
