Significantly smaller file sizes for GeoLite databases

[MaxMind]

We have made changes to how we build and package our MMDB files to be more efficient, which has significantly reduced the file sizes. The size of CSV files will not change.

No data has been removed from the databases. You will continue to receive the same amount of data in a smaller package.

This is a non-breaking change.

The following databases will be released today, October 7, 2026 with a smaller file size:

Database name	Original file size	Reduced file size
GeoLite ASN database	12 MB	8.5 MB
GeoLite City database	62 MB	50 MB
GeoLite Country database	8 MB	3 MB
