Pull a single country, bogons (XA) in this case. It looks slightly funny since I used the CIDR address as the key since I can extrapolate pretty much everything else from it:
This model means I can rate limit to near nothing without affecting people because they can just replicate http://dustinphoto.couchone.com/country_ip/ and use their own infrastructure while keeping the data fully synchronized.
I've got another similar database where I integer encoded the keys so they sort numerically so a reverse limit 1 sorted search by integer key will return lat/long data at whatever granularity that particular block was captured (could be a single IP address). I should get these consolidated somehow.
I'm disappointed about what they provide... Almost every point of their About page I disagree with. Blocking random network blocks is not proper security, no IP database is "current" or "accurate", webmasters should work on actual security in the first place, not on rejecting some arbitrary portion of internet.
I don't donate to things like this unless they can explain why their costs are so high or why they need the money, what's it for? I'd be more that happy to donate if they ould explain their costs.
I converted something from that to a couchdb in a couple of minutes and set up a view to reproduce their CIDR export data. For example:
