Updated Jan 18 2013; same as vi_'s one-liner above:

Code:
wget -O ~/hosts http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt && echo "127.0.0.1" $(uname -n) "localhost" > /etc/hosts && tr -d '\015' < ~/hosts >> /etc/hosts

E: If you just recently ran the one-liner then you are surely updated as the updates are just pushed to the same URL
