This is an update on the "freshness" of the blacklists available
from the squidGuard site.
The porn files were updated again this week:
domains urls
additions +2,209 +1,629
deletions -2,149* -1,508
------- ------
7/26 total 108,265 21,913
* I picked 50 or so of the deleted domains at random and checked them
out with a browser. Approximately 40 out of the 50 that I checked
are still valid, still open and still porn. I don't know why they are
being unblocked, but based on my crude sample 1,500 or more valid
porn domains may be unblocked with this update. I did not test the
urls.
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.
