Hello Jason, thanks for reporting back.
I'm writing on behalf of MaxMind. We believe we have addressed the issues you noted in the latest update of our GeoLite ASN database: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/#Downloads.
Thank you for bringing the issues to our attention.
I just downloaded the current version of GeoIPASNum2.zip (SHA1: c72a275c66cededf47157e3cea4625342b85bf94) to have a short look at it and I'm not sure the problem is fixed completely. While the number of unnamed AS entries significantly improved (unnamed count is down to 1462 from >57k, still not back to ~500 (Feb 2016), but just comparing absolute numbers without considering total entries in each CSV might be a bit flawed metric anyway), incorrect AS names apparently remain: I searched for the two examples I gave in my last email: AS8708 and AS12741 they are still incorrectly named "73-75 Dr. Staicovici" and "Warszawa 02-822" in your DB, which means the problem still persists. actual names: http://bgp.he.net/AS8708 http://bgp.he.net/AS12741 thank you for looking into this again, nusenu

Hi nusenu, Sorry the issues aren't entirely resolved. We'll take a look at those. Thanks, Jason On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 6:08 PM, nusenu <nusenu@openmailbox.org> wrote:
