There is no hosts.txt file in the zip. Just hosts with no extension.
Rename it with the txt extension to edit it then remove the extension
when done.

. . . what if it were true?

There is
Hosts executable licence.txt mbvps.bat privacypolecy.txt and readme.txt.
Please what am I missing.
Thanks for any help.

Someone asked:
"This is a very interesting post. I've downloaded the hosts.zip file but I
find in the zipped folder only files that I would consider to be windows files only.
In the private/etc folder, there's no equivalent host file that I could
replace. The downloaded zipped file only has a unix executable file, and
hosts.bat. The private/etc folder on my mac doesn't have hosts.bat file. but
only hosts TextEdit.app Document. How can I accomplish what the instructions in
the link you sent tell me to do?
I've been on the website from which one can download the file but there's no
reference on it to the os mac operating system."
Me:
The text edit "hosts" file is the one to use. It is a pure text file which is
why text edit sees it. After making a copy of the hosts file already there just put the
new one in its place.
Except for that "hosts" text file ignore everything else in the zip file.
On the zip source page do a search for "Mac OS", that is the header for the
os10 instructions section.
