This is an update on the "freshness" of the blacklists available
from the squidGuard site.
This information is based on my blacklists downloads in 2002
(twice in January, once a week since then). I used the header
information inside the file ("This list was created on ...") to
determine the file's creation date, with the exception of the mail
group, where I had to use the file's date/time stamp.
As of 05/31/02: Days Since
