How to use

Open the config file:

    Linux: /etc/rhosts/rhosts.cfg

    Windows: \ProgramData\rhosts\rhosts.cfg

There are 2 types of entries: download and site. Downloads are currently downloaded straight into the config without error checking, sites are added with an IP address prepended. You can also add comments by prepending with a '#'.

Example:

    # This is a static entry
    site=www.site.xyz
    # This is a download entry
    download=w3.site.xyz/location/to/config.txt
