Your blocking file is amalgamated from 5 hosts files. The fifth likely timed out while updating. You can enter c into AB and look at the hosts_list variable.Hi there @thelonelycoder I have a small problem with absolution 3.8 on my ac68u running 380.65_4. The log shows this:
User name deleted for privacy.Code:Apr 19 02:04:58 : AB-Solution: file 5 download failed or file is not hosts file, using backup file Apr 19 02:05:05 : AB-Solution updated blocking file, 69075 domains are now blocked Apr 19 02:05:09 : AB-Solution counted ads before log files reset (triggered by update-hosts.add) Apr 19 02:05:09 : AB-Solution blocked 9,299 total 9,299 week 702 new ads Apr 19 02:05:09 : AB-Solution rotated dnsmasq log files
The line I'm worried about is the first one saying the 5th file is not a hosts file. When I run ab-solution.sh I see that I have 5 hosts files in the header a the top.
Any ideas what is going on?
Is it normal to have 5 hosts files?
Code:
hosts_list="http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt
http://hosts-file.net/emd.txt
http://hosts-file.net/grm.txt
http://hosts-file.net/mmt.txt
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts
http://adblock.mahakala.is"
If your blocking file is a standard file from the selection in b then there's nothing to worry about. These servers may timeout every now and then.
That is why the backup is built in.
Run u to manually update the blocking file, most likely it will update without any errors.
