The new file is actually smaller than the September file.
How you derived the extra 90 sites must have been with
a third party tool. I don't query to number of actual lines
in the file.

*Disclaimer*
This is not my file - although some may have been lead to believe
so over the years.

I use Hostsman and there was a change in number, I assumed it was upwards - it
may have been less. I only check the last 3 digits to ensure there has been a
change in the file.
