Hi,
I just want to share my observation that the suggested sources for building the DB are no longer available.
http://ipinfodb.com/ip_database.php
http://ipinfodb.com/timezonedatabase.php

However the direct-links still works.
http://mirrors.ipinfodb.com/ipinfodb/ip_database/current/ipinfodb_one_table_full.csv.zip
http://mirrors.ipinfodb.com/ipinfodb/timezonedatabase/tz.csv.zip

As a possible replacement, http://software77.net/geo-ip/ looks quite good in terms of the way it's distributed and also license-wise. http://www.wipmania.com/en/base/ looks good but the license it's published under seems to be a deal-breaker.
