was inches away from asking for help about getting the country flags of peers to show up.
if you also have issue, my solution was to download the database in the link from this post:
I maintain a up to date (updates every 3 days from maxmind) geoip.dat for Deluge usage located at HTTPs://geo.el0.org if you are interested in getting a more up to date version.

Does it work to point deluge directly to HTTPs://geo.el0.org/GeoIP.dat or does the file need to be downloaded and placed on local storage periodically?
No, you have to point it to local, setup a scheduled task on windows (cron on linux) to download the file to local storage. It has to point to a path on your system.

I just noticed a bad page rule, so I had to make a new URL - FYI. This should work now where before it redirected erroneously.

Thanks. It works now. Easy powershell script with Start-BITStransfer or Invoke-Webrequest both work to grab the file and store it locally.
The only issue I haven't sorted out, once the file is downloaded and Deluge is pointing to it, the file is open, so the script can't overwrite the file unless Deluge daemon is stopped. I may just run it monthly as part of Windows update and reboot.

Yes, you would want to run it prior to starting deluge, something like a batch file that starts Deluge but grabs the file first, I had previously maintained containers (which I know suggest using LSIO or binhex) which grab it on initialization, but you can't replace a file that's in use. You could alternate between two files, and just use the API to switch between them when they're replaced.
