Hi, I know MaxMind put their DB behind API / login, and now Matomo uses db-ip download. For at least a year I have noticed that cities are very wrong, they are not at all accurate as before (countries are still accurate, as I can tell so far).

Today I devoted some time to exploring this issue, and discovered that update db link is hard coded with a date from January 2020. But, Matomo correctly reports that latest db version is from October 2020.

Does this affect downloading latest version or not (see screenshot)? Do we have to manually update this link from time to time?
