Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying ("listing is used so that folks
can modify their hosts file")....but I _WOULD NOT EVER_ put anything with one
thousand one hundred and ninety eight lines as my host file. MS even
recommends you not use the template host file with comments because that's an
extra 20 lines that the OS must sift through before getting to the good
stuff. Can you imagine the latency of windows having to go through that
many lines (13,198) of a host file before it decides it needs to go out to a
DNS server and look something up??

Hi
You'll find a very comprehensive list of ad servers, p0rn and other dubious
sites here:
http://www.smartin-designs.com/
The listing is used so that folks can modify their hosts file under Windows
boxes to prevent access to certain sites. It's been around for a while and
the list now contains 13198 entries. Did I mention it's a community effort?
Cheers,
Brad
