Hello Just joined the community. Been following all this while. I want to share a minor problem wrt blocklist updates in Blokada v4.15 I am using the list called hBlock. It is the only one activated. The problem is the list isnct downloading latest updated list each time I press ‘download lists now’. I have checked the settings and everything is perfectly fine. I have to manually paste the link to updated blocklist from hBlock site to use the latest one. Why is this happening? I think other lists could also be having similar issue but I haven’t checked it. Please let me know. Thanks ![Screenshot_2022-05-11_08-47-42~3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/blokada/original/2X/6/6e5fa7db410b5d4dc0a78fb8190d053aea063c83.png) ---

Hi, Does this help? > [@Reason to mirror](https://community.blokada.org/t/reason-to-mirror/14375): > > Hello, I looked at [blokada/PackDataSource.kt at 5 · blokadaorg/blokada · GitHub](https://github.com/blokadaorg/blokada/blob/5/android5/app/src/main/java/repository/PackDataSource.kt) and saw that all files are taken from mirrored address. Why does blokada use a mirror instead of the original address? ---

Oh! So, the original download source is not linked to the blocklists to update them? Then this makes “download lists now” of no use. I have manually created an alternative to hBlock list. Hopefully, this manually linked to original source will update properly. I’ll wait till then. Shall respond with the results later. ---

Yes. I can confirm now. The links manually added are getting updated perfectly! 👍 This solves my problem. Thank you for the help. ---
