Updating Filters

From: List Address (Jeffrey)

I'm looking for ideas how to make it easier for people to keep their
text-based filters (header and body checks files) updated. We've had
over a million unique IPs download them, but there are only about
30,000 unique IPs that update regularly.

Any thoughts?
