For the use here in a hosts file, 0.0.0.0 might result in faster behavior for certain browsers and operating systems. In fact, you can just use a single 0 rather than 0.0.0.0 and reduce the size of the file, too. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r16790135-Large-Hosts-file-0-0-0-0-or-127-0-0-1 |

Added label "enhancement" — going to try |
OK the latest commit now uses |
well, under Windows 10 "0 instead of 0.0.0.0" does not work for me... |
OK. I concede :-) I've just updated the hosts file which uses 0.0.0.0 now. Thanks for all the input! |

Please replace this line "0.0.0.0 localhost" to "127.0.0.1 localhost".
"0.0.0.0 localhost" is incorrect.
