Version 0.11.2 (09.12.2012) *swapped out use of md5sums for ls mod times to improve performance Ideas for further development: *Make use of GNU Parallel to speed up download times and processing, possibly at the risk of a perl dependency. *Autodetect archiving utils in order to compress archived hosts file.
