Filter updates not working in any version

Post by WillZ »

The filters are NOT updating in Chrome or FireFox. They keep saying that the download failed.

when you click on thew link to see/update the filter, you get:
SITE BAR URL: https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt

Firefox can't find the server at easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org.

Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of http://www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Can someone please update either the server list locales for the filters, check the servers if they are servers are active or, if frozen, reset the servers? If the servers are no longer online, can you point people to the new text files so people can be properly updated with all the subscriptions? This is happening not only with ezlist, but fanboyz and others hosted here, as well.

You need to check the connection on your end: The filter-list URLs work fine for me.

Try flushing the DNS cache and ensuring that whatever browser you use accepts TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 connections (but not SSL 2.0 or 3.0, they have known security problems).
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
