I'm trying to update the hosts files in Firefox 38.0.5, uMatrix 0.9.1.2 and it won't update "hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers‎ (hosts-file.net)".
The actual list can be found at:
http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt
while the file seems to be called "ad-servers" internally in uMatrix. Is it using the correct url?

The file name is fine: http://hosts-file.net/.%5Cad_servers.txt, as seen in filter-list.json.

Sorry, it is actually uBlock not letting it update. It's been reported before in gorhill/uBlock#302 and you reversed a pull request which should have fixed it.

The list URL is fine, there is just no guarantee remote servers will always be up and running.

The list was down the other day so I couldn't follow up but I found the problem:
in uBlock/assets/ublock/filter-lists.json it's .%5Cad_servers.txt so it isn't blocked
in uMatrix/assets/umatrix/hosts-files.json it's ad_servers.txt so it trips the ".net/ad"_ rule in Easylist
Another mention in uMatrix/tools/update-3rdparties.sh is .%5Cad_servers.txt

Ok, I did not realize I was commenting in uMatrix project. Yes, that list needs to be renamed to prevent a hit on EasyList.
