Hi, I can't see any changes since June 5th, did everyone fix their DNS servers? :)

Nah, the script is broken and I just haven't had time to fix it yet - will diagnose this weekend and hopefully get it working again!

Alright so the cause of this one is actually pretty funny (and is now fixed).

Turns out Russia accidentally enabled global zone transfers on two of their core TLD nameservers and the resulting zone data was so big (850+ megabytes of raw zone text!) it filled up all available RAM and caused the program to immediately die.

I've done two things to address this:

• Beefed up the server hosting this script (more RAM, more disk)
• Added some code to the script which detects if a zone file is too big and gzips it automatically (Github will not allow files over 100MB so this is a requirement in order to keep uploading zone data for big TLDs).

Hopefully no TLDs will have over 100MB post-gziped zone data. That will hit the limits of Github and may require this project to be moved somewhere else. This whole thing is due for a massive rewrite anyways so I'll add that to my TODO list as well.

Thanks for reporting!

Haha, thanks so much! Look what I found in the .RU zone: https://twitter.com/pforemski/status/876737428307968000 :)
