    Hey,

    Just found this cool little trick, thought I'd share it with you, first install Addblock plus for firefox, then go here:

    http://www.pierceive.com/filtersetg/

    *Right-click the " 2007-01-29a.txt" or whatever the latest list is and press "Copy Link Location".

    *Open up the AdBlock options. (click the little down arrow next to its logo)

    *Then open up 'AdBlock preferences' and click 'Import Filters...'

    *Paste the URL of the list you got from the website. Click open. If it asks to overwrite your current list, let it.

    *Click 'ok' and enjoy surfing add free! Check back to the site periodically to see if they update the list.

    Have fun.

    -Rav :)

    I have that plug-in also, after installing these and "googling" for others my ad database was a lot bigger. Thats why you should use this trick ;-)

    Question, why my aD looks like this after I did that manual update?

    Hmmm, My guess is because your running uTorrent with some downloads going - causing stuff not to load fully.

    Sorry it didn't work for you buddy, your the only persons who's had problem with it - I still can't explain why it caused aD to load like that, maybe it was blocking something aD needed which it deemed an ad?

    Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone else has actually benefited from this trick as I have.

    Cheers.
