Hm, strange - I've tested with a few hundred lists during "stress testing" 
(including
basically all the country-codes) without any errors during update-downloads.  
Could
you please post your peerblock.log and peerblock.conf files so we can take a 
look at
them?

Hm, so you're getting a variety of errors here it looks like, though generally 
all
errors hit during a certain update-cycle are the same error-code.  You're 
getting the
following:

/---------------------------------------
ERROR CONTACTING URL, result:[6] err:[Could not resolve host: 
list.iblocklist.com;
Host not found]

ERROR CONTACTING URL, result:[28] err:[Connection time-out]

ERROR CONTACTING URL, result:[56]
\---------------------------------------

#56 is CURLE_RECV_ERROR, which for its part is generally indicative of some 
kind of
random network error while we were receiving data.  The "Connection time-out" 
errors
mean we were unable to contact the iblocklist.com servers at all, and the 
"Could not
resolve host" errors mean we couldn't even look up the domain-name.

Not too sure why these are happening - from what a quick google turns up it 
looks
like these sorts of errors can result from your local network experiencing some
issues.  Did this problem only start happening recently, or is this a recent 
install?

i recently went to the r320. i had no issues with the stable release but i 
figured 
I'd try the r320 to see if there are any improvements. i only had issues after 
the 
upgrade or when i didn't have net access (for obvious reasons).

when i disable some of the list it updates just fine. never gotten it to update 
if i 
have more than 35 active lists at once. it seems like I'm requesting too much 
information with all my list or something strange along those lines.

It sounds like a connection problem. Who is your ISP? What kind of router are 
you using? How are you connecting to the router (wired, wireless, what 
protocol)? When this happens, are you able to access other sites at adequate 
speeds?

Here's two things to try. Open a command prompt (windows key + r, then type 
"cmd" and press enter). In the command prompt, type in "ping 4.2.2.1 -t". This 
will ping one of the major DNS servers until stopped. While this is running, 
start a full update with all your lists. While the update is happening, watch 
the command prompt to see if any values jump up really high or if you start 
getting "destination host unreachable", "unspecified error", or some other 
error messages.

If that doesn't change anything, try running a speed test 
(geeksquad.com/speedtest or speedtest.net) before, during, and after updating 
the lists. See if the speeds and ping differ significantly.

I encounter problems where my router gets overloaded with simultaneous 
connections and locks up, where my wireless adapter stops working with really 
heavy usage, and where I would get slower and slower performance when using 
Ethernet over Power adapters. Some cable (and probably DSL) modems can also 
lock up with too many connections.
