Hosts.txt Add File

[Ma TriX 0978]

Well, i was doing my usual Hosts.txt file update. And when i ended up doing this. My computer went crazy, wouldnt load anything at all. So i had to go to Run>>cmd>> and use DEL command to delete the hosts.txt file. It was a pain. Lucky i was able to fix it.

So for those using the Hosts.txt file, I would FULLY recommend it. But if it works for you then dont load too many lines in it. Mine became over 1mb. :)

a google search provided this link about host files.

I read up on that and couldn't quite get it to work. A tutorial would be cool.

I also think a section should be devoted to requests for such things. Might eliminate alot of unnecessary posts.

There is no extension though.

I totally agree with this, I flicked over to the link and am clearer on what it does, but what I want to know is how do I make this work?

Cheers :)

I do agree that a"how to " section would be a good idea, written in SIMPLE terms of course!
