I would rather not have an enormous file, since it might take longer for the browser to search through. Just my opinion of course.

If you want I can upload it periodically and give a link.

Cleve I would appreciate a place where I can download yours at. I have never tried any of this, but anythinig that will speed up my browsing is worth a shot. Kind of greedy though, since my connection is very very fast for being cable. I get 2.5 megabits/second which is about 20% faster than the average of Ohio and faster than the listed T-1 (1.43MBits/sec).

I've attached it as a text file. just open it up, copy it all, and paste it into your HOSTS file.

I've also found that 0.0.0.0 works quicker than 127.0.0.1

1) BugMeNot is a great helper - thank you
2) Modzilla is causing me some grief...
a) PDFs will not launch like they do for me in IE (I've changed the tools option tab)
b) Cannot get it to import from IE for other users (XP home)... getting a run time error... FAQs talk about a ProfileManager... but I can't find it/can't seem to get a RUN command to launch it...

Any advice?

OT: For those that use Mozllla<hr size="1"> There's a new extension you can ad to Mozilla that helps popups, man this thing is awesome, surfing is ALOT faster.
It's called Adblock, no more valueclick...
Get it from here:

https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/

Some Bama dude on the OU board was talking about it. When you DL it ad these filters to it. Works great

I tried to download the latest reference file for AdAware and it locked up at the 5% point, and now when I try to run AdAware I get an "Error while loading the Ad-aware reference file". This happened about three days ago on my home computer, and I thought maybe it was just a bad file transfer, but when I tried to update my work computer the same [censored] happened. Is this happening to anyone else, and if so, how did you repair the reference file?
