[GeoIP.dat] Updated and maintained "Legacy Format MaxMind DB"

[ambipro]

If anyone needs an updated GeoIP.dat file in the legacy MaxMind format, which can be hard to locate due to many databases being outdated or abandoned, you can check out mine.

https://geo.el0.org has links to both the bare GeoIP.dat you can set up a crontab job to download as well as a .gz (compressed archive) format if you prefer.

Windows users will have to close Deluge due to the file being "in use" when attempting to replace it.

There is a timestamp for the last updated time at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, you can check https://geo.el0.org/last_update.txt for the UTC timestamp if you need it in your scripts.

I recommend doing this once a week, as this script the GeoIP.dat every 3 days.

excelent works ambipro. As a Windows user, I will share the script I use. I have it configured with the Windows scheduler to run once a week, so everything stays up to date.

you must have 7zip installed, download folder is AppData\Roaming\deluge

Scritp Attachments, change .txt > .bat

The .dat by itself (extracted form) is available as well as a .gz, so I'm confused why you opted to download the .gz and extract it?

Should I also add SHA1 hashes for the current file? That way you can validate it without needing the archive?

Edit: SHA1 hashes are now available for both files and will update every 3 days when a new version is made available. Hopefully this helps someone.

You are correct, your link already provides the final .dat file so it is much better and easier, I don't see the need to add SHA1 hashes, but I will change my script to work directly with your source.

I already added SHA1, it wasn't a big deal.

Anyway, let me know if you need anything else.
