Which version?
It was 0.87. After reading your email I upgraded to 0.88.1
What does your freshclam log say?
It had been disabled in the config files. I have enabled it now.
Aparently the log says something very similar to what I get when
executing program on the shell. On the shell I get the following:
ClamAV update process started at Wed Apr 5 13:27:16 2006

ERROR: Mirrors are not fully synchronized. Please try again later.

This time it took about 15 minutes for the process to finish.

Not until I have read your email. I have launched verbose version now,
it is still running ...
I also tried to fetch the main.cvd file with wget. It took several
minutes to establish connection, and the transfer rate is about 100
bytes per second.
Why run Freshclam from cron instead of the freshclam daemon?
No idea. It was suggested to run it that way at the time I installed it
for the first time. And that was probably more than a year ago.
In which state are those frozen processes, e.g. what are doing?
Not sure, I think they are still "downloading" :)
I have several processes from Mar 20, then Mar 22, Mar 27, then a lot of
processes from Mar 29, 30, 31, Apr 01, 02, 03...
Could this be that the mirrors are overloaded? I really think I can
contribute to this software by hosting one of the mirrors and at least
have normal downloads of updates.
