I believe that the data isn't actually corrupt.
 
The crux of the issue:
 
What R Scott Perry objected to when he was the sole programmer was that
the EU is a political body, and that the RIPE data should be stating the
exact country that the IP allocation is in.  If the IP is in the
Netherlands, the code should be NL, not EU.

I believe that a declude filter text file with the line:
 
COUNTRIES 1 STARTSWITH EU
 
would have triggered in this case, despite the "corrupt RIPE data"
presentation of the result in the header.

        Hi,
         
        I understand the dynamic nature of the network assingments. That
was why I wrote part 2 of my message. I like to have a way to see how
many errors I get about corrupt data. If it's just a few per week, no
problem. If it gets to be sever a day maybe it's time for a new
all_list.dat. Right now I don't seem to have a way to detect that. :-(

                The "corrupt RIPE data" should be referring to
145.53.30.139.  Though if you go to www.ripe.net and do a search,
145.53.0.0/16 is listed as belonging to Planet Technologies with an
email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and being in The Netherlands.  Which
is essentially the same as the listing for 213.75.0.0/16.

                Unfortunately the entries in the RIPE database don't
have dates associated with them, so you can't tell if those listings
were the same back in May when the all_list.dat was created.  The
listings change all the time, so essentially the all_list.dat file is
outdated as soon as it comes out.  And it also doesn't help that RIPE,
ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC, etc. are all separate independent entities with
separate databases, so when things change Declude has to look in many
places to update the all_list.dat.
