Latest GeoLiteCity.dat messed up?

LeetDonkey · **Author**

Hello

If I use the current GeoLiteCity.dat from Maxmind the countries are messed up and seems to be selected completely random, if I go back to an older database it works correctly.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I use geoip lookup from binary file which was downloaded ~10 days ago from dev.maxmind.com

It works fine atm, 99% of users are recognized correctly.

I use the binary legacy file from here:

I suppose it's the same you're using?

Yup

I've just updated it to the latest version, it still works fine.

Code:

steam@dan-desktop:~/scripts/GeoLiteCity$ md5sum GeoLiteCity.dat

I've tried downloading it again, I'll see how it goes this time:

Should be the exact same you're using now.

Alright same thing happened again when I started using the new file.
A bunch of danish IPs were suddenly from China, Eritrea, Falkland Islands, France and so on.
I'll run with the old one until I figure something out.

Hehe, i got the same issue. Daemon should be restarted after putting new GeoLiteCity.dat. That's it.
