more on setting up hosts…
Authored by: bruddahmax on Aug 29, '02 11:26:57PM
some like to set up hosts to block all annoying ad content (ie servers that litter ads vs. tastefully display ads on the better sites) to cut down on network chuttle. i did the routine described at the linked site in both 10.1 and 10.2 and it has worked well each time. loading of the hosts file into NetInfo Manager through the terminal takes absolutely forever (30+ minutes) but it will block just about all annoying ad servers. here's the link.
