You'll have to bump the maximum number of table entries with "set limit", things like the ads list should be no trouble though I don't know how well the 200k-odd entries of the p2p list will be handled. > How can I automate the download/untar of these files cron, ftp, p7zip. You'll probably need to retry when it fails, it seems a bit unreliable, even though they use coralcdn to host some of the lists. The format can be converted with "tableutil" on http://expiretable.fnord.se/ > I use my openBSD machine to download torrents and have the ports open for > transmissioncli. I would like to be safe from all the watchdog agencies. I'm sure the various agencies never thought of using a standard cable modem/ADSL internet connection for their work. And those won't show up with one of the "bad" words it looks like peerguardian editors grepped the whois databases for. cisco, police, US, legal, federal, disney, law, government, names of various lawyers and software companies when making their list. Yeah, sure that'll work...
