AW, this is a waste of time.
A proven waste of time.
Worse, the only result of installing and using this 'hostiles list' is to increase initial connection time by an absurd amount-
These comments are based on at least 3 years of 'practice' with your hostiles file.
Net result is ineffective.
This is not a rant.
It is a statement of fact based on the experiences of many users, not only myself.
Me, I give up, after 9 years with/in Gnutella Network (BS 2.1 old enough for you?)- Far too many files, of all types, are infected.
While people worry about baddies that supposedly can be dealt with via your hostiles list, the actual general content available in/on Gnutella Network has become more and more garbage-based.
Torrents seem to be cleaner and cleaner and the bad stuff far more easy to detect, so, bye-bye Gnutella.

Hope Peerless comes in here to add comment.
