Hi Steven,

I'm a Pi Hole user and your list was one of the first I added. Recently I had troubles downloading NPR podcasts via iTunes. I wrecked my brain what the issue could be and shortly before re-installing my iPod it dawned on me that I should check the Pi Hole query log. And lo and behold, the tritondigital website(s) were blocked by your list. Either you added them recently or NPR has switched to their service to provide their podcasts.
Any reason for adding them? I would imagine that many other users also have troubles since with using iTunes. I suggest removing that domain and its subdomains. Since I unticked your list, downloading works fine.

Cheers,
Boris

Looks like this one is my fault. I just removed all the tritondigital hosts in commit lightswitch05/hosts@293da65 - it will be included in the next list update

Was just about to open a new issue and saw this one. To be specific, the URL "npr.mc.tritondigital.com" is the one causing issues downloading podcast (PocketCasts in my case). I don't know about the reputation of the domain itself and/or what affect it has.

Dominique @DomPizzie there is no longer any tritondigital.com domain in this list, at all.
