Lists overwritten before newly-downloaded lists are verified as usable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

My router shows an error page, when there are connection problems. 
Peerblock loads this error page at the Update and overwrite all Blocklists
with the html-page from the Router.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.2 (r86) / Windows XP Prof + SP3

Possible fix:

Validate Lists after the Update. (Header-Check if 7z,zip etc)

Ooh, your router displays a page instead of returning an HTTP error-code to the
browser?  Interesting - guess they're trying to make it more user-friendly, but
that's not nice to non-browser programs (like us!) attempting to use HTTP as a
transport mechanism.  What kind of router is it if you don't mind my asking?

Either way, we definitely should verify that what we downloaded is useful 
before we
overwrite an existent list.  Can't promise we'll get to it ASAP, but we'll 
definitely
keep it on our "To-do" list.

Bumping up the priority on this one, since it's a nasty enough problem that I 
really
want to make sure it's addressed before we release PeerBlock 1.0.
