Hi,

I just upgraded the thing to v3.0_3 and when executing I get:


 : not found
To protect against abuse, the initial challenge/response phase
contains a 15 minute pause.  Please be patient while this time
limit elapses


Not sure what happens with that " : not found". I also commented "sleep
900" line. Waiting for 15 mins is a bit too long.

Oh, and Chile is missing again.


Thanks for this project Marc!


Cheers,
Mikhail.
