Where can I get the latest ip2country database?
 

I see dozens of sites selling the database on google, but I know for a fact its available publicly and freely by some internet organization. .

Anyone know where I can grab it?

Maxmind gives away their free database that has something like 80% accuracy. The database with 98% accuracy is the commercial version.

I recommend using the maxmind "pay per request" service. its pennies :D
