Because both, the system database and the Horde database are generated  
from the IANA source. But we cannot generate the Horde database from  
the system database. It simply doesn't contain the information that we  
need and is not parseable in the way the IANA db is. But that location  
is just the default, you can specify any other location, like a local  
copy of that file.

> *) when does horde download that file and where is it's content saved?

When it's not available yet or the cache TTL expired, into the  
temporary directory.
