Try this -unzip then ftp into zones directory .....

Thanks, rotor but your zone files are from almost 2 years ago.

The archives on the site have been messed up for a while now.

These zone files are more recent than the ones rotor posted (May 2013) but they are still out of date by now - see attached.

Thanks guys a lot!

Does anyone know of an alternative source of this information?

At the moment I get thousands of spam registrations per week with a very ow false positive rate using the old (now out of date) zone files, but I figure a time will come soon enough when it no longer works for me.

Plan B: Is there an alternative option to cut down on dodgy registrations that people can recommend?

I liked this MOD also but without the files it is not very helpful.

For now I added the ip's from the countries I want to block in my htaccess file.
There are some sites where you can generate the IP list per country:

http://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-blocker

Thanks for those, I has a few similar sources, but those are another two :)

There is no reason why you can't use those to generate your own zone files. As it is you only really need to keep the zone files up to date for countries you DONT want to filter out... Even then it's only for registration. So worst case some people need to be manually allowed through later.

Blocking at the .htaccess level means that no one from those locations can get any access, I don't see that as a viable solution.

Any chance this will be updated for vB 5.1?

Thanks working on vb 4.23 zones list still available
