hpHosts’ Ad and tracking servers​​​​​ is not updating with this build in FF
maybe https version of the site is down?
uBo should add a fall back to http if https fails for all filters/subscriptions?

http://hosts-file.net/download/hosts.txt

http://www.hosts-file.net/

http://hosts-file.net/?s=Download

all are opening

@gorhill can you please look into this

On my side https not loads, and when I try to open HOST file in browser I get "The connection was reset" error.

Even wget reports problems:

The link is https://hosts-file.net/.%5Cad_servers.txt (not hosts.txt).

The http: version works fine from the browser.

[gorhill]

I confirm falling back to the http version works.

@gorhill Still not updating on 1.12.5rc1
shows network error

[okiehsch]

http://www.hosts-file.net is down.

[shellye5]

@okiehsch Oh did not know that , does the fix also allows other filters to fallback from https to http if https is down?
It's very useful

Webextension builds are missing?

@gorhill

Edit: sorry meant missing ad's on some sites?
