If SEM was able to detect newly registered domains more quickly then that would solve the problem.

Oh, agreed.

The problem is, a registrar feed of registration changes costs a lot, and this is a free project.

That's why I suggested trying to develop relationships with registrars, to maybe get them onboard with providing this data for free for this purpose.

It's possible that the Apache name could provide cachet to get registars onboard to provide rsync'able data feeds of domain names registered in the last N days. It might be possible/better to get them to provide the data to URIBL.org (to act as an aggregator) with a license to provide the data free via DNS (i.e. non-bulk access) and at a nominal fee for rsync access (which URIBL already charges for the data they collect).
