ok i figured out i can add a new "location" in the settings.
i added the 2.8 paid url and then went to update a new policy and it errors.
http://www.snort.org/pub-bin/downloads.cgi/Download/sub_rules/snortrules-snapshot-2.8_s.tar.gz
does anyone know if i am on the right path for the subscription rules downloading?
is subscription even supported?
