Dithane is out but Bayer have replaced it with "Bayer Friut and vegetable disease control" which contain copper oxychloride. It is preventative like Bordeaux mix and Dithane.

Many of the professional farmers products are systemic and will cure as well as prevent.

I can't really add much chemical-wise to what Salmo has written I'm afraid. 

Other things to consider are growing only early varieties of spuds, so they are not still growing when the worst of the blight hits, or growing blight-resistant (not blight-proof unfortunately but better than nothing) varieties such as the Sarpo range.  I've heard mixed reviews about their taste but fairly good ones about their growing ability.

Edit: Just spotted that the thread is about tomatoes!

I suspect there will be blight-resistant tomato varieties too.  Is Ferline one, from memory?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Never failed with my greenhouse toms - always a good crop and never any sign of disease.
Cannot be said for my outdoor toms - unless regularly sprayed they succumb without fail...
Death OR Cake ???
