I released a small library to resolve the country an IP address belongs to.
The library, IP2C - is released under GPL2, and supports PHP, Java and command line.
Performance is great:
250 searches a second for PHP, and 330,000 searches a second for Java (too good to be true, but those are my results). it IS too good to be true. I wrote a benchmark program and it shows about 7000 searches/sec on directly on the file, and about 170,000 searches/sec with memory cache.
The library works on a binary file so you don’t need to mess with a database to use it.

[…] I released Easy IP2Country - a new Wordpress plugin that shows an country icon flag next to the comment author name. the plugin is based on IP2C, and is very simple to install (what makes it different from the other similar plugins I have seen). […]

Hi Monica,
you need to upload all the files in the zip into the wp-content/plugins/easy-ip2country.
if that does not work check the FireStats FAQ :
the question about the missing icons is relevant to Easy-IP2Country as well.
