Since the blocklists (take a look at okean.com and some stuff on other sites I won't mention) are distributed through http - downloads fail sometimes, so I am not sure how to make a reliable automated script that gets these lists periodically. Maybe it should just leave the old file in place when it can't get a new blocklist file. Some distribution sites are overloaded and flaky, downloads fail. Further, the lists needs to be converted from their formats to other formats. That's easy, except for the case when there are syntax errors in these list files, and I've seen quite a few. So automatic conversion fails as well :(
