What do you mean about needing unsorting with DansGuardian?

The blacklist is provided as a gzipped tar file with directories containing text file lists. These lists are now provided in a sorted ordered list. DansGuardian, when reading in the files, will in memory sort the file. It needs to sort them to be able to quickly search them when doing the filtering. However DansGuardian uses the Quick Sort algorithm which is very quick to sort random lists but it will take a very LONG time to sort a list that is already sorted. DansGuardian will eventually start. If it does not then you might have a very old version with a bug. The input URL list being sorted should not affect any script or program and stop it actually working.
