Hello.
New Clam user here, so please be gentile :-)
Recently (since 4 days ago or so), I've been having some issues while updating
my virus definitions.
Here is the terminal output after a freshclam command:

Hello Thomas
This is normal behavior, since the mirror 82.195.234.148 is down, freshclam
retries from a different mirror.
Freshclam should blacklist this IP somehow (haven't read the source for a
while, blame me). Also the clamav team removes mirrors which are out of sync
or down
The second symptom is from not running clamd, or having
a wrong path to clamav's config file in freshclam.conf.
If you don't have clamd running (which I recommend),
comment out the
NotifyClamd clamav config file
or make sure the argument to NotifyClamd correctly
points to clamd's config
