--- Comment #23 from Bernhard Rosenkränzer <b...@lindev.ch> ---
Thanks, confirmed that the download via the new URL + license_key works. That
may be another option, but I doubt a lot of users will go through the process
of signing up for the key and entering it in the settings.

Download limits are rather unlikely to become a problem, since ktorrent doesn't
try to update the GeoIP database a lot.

#1 would be legal, since the database used to be under the
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license.
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
For all practical matters, that license is like the GPL.

#3 is fairly easy to do. This oneliner should be fairly accurate:
whois $IP_ADDR |grep -i '^Country:' |awk '{ print $2; }' |head -n1

Of course one down side of it is that it would mean firing off a whois request
for every new IP seen, causing more network traffic than just looking it up in
a local DB (hence idea #4).
