Why not first check the state of IPv6 Allow, and base whether Bogons V6 gets downloaded on that?  8)

Mostly to bridge the gap between disabling and enabling IPv6 and getting the correct values on the switch. The file on the mirror is 90 kb and contains both IPv4 and IPv6 anyway ;)

So it's a single file? The log suggests it was 2 separate files.

Yeah, if it's a single file anyway, then I guess it's fine  :)

Yeah, valid concern in any case. The script has other issues but let's just fix the wording:
