[pmwiki-users] Site.Blocklist

On that note:

I enabled auto blocklists a few days ago but so far they have failed
to download anything. Are there any common reasons for this?  The script
is running OK because it is creating Blocklist pages which say "####
Unable to download blocklist"

http://su.nott.ac.uk/~pineappl/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php?n=Site.Blocklist

I am running the latest beta, and have the following in config.php

#Enable automatic blocklist downloads
$EnableBlocklist = 10;
$BlocklistDownload['Site.Blocklist-PmWiki'] = array('format' => 'pmwiki');

Is it of any importance where this appears in relation to other lines
in config.php?  Or are there known conflicts with other recipes?

Thanks,

Francis
