Hello G.W.,

that's not true. 

wget clamav.public-internet.co.uk/daily.cvd gives me the CVD from
November 22nd.

you can find similar matches for almost every mirror, because every
mirror has problems from time to time.

I usually give them about 1 week to fix the problem and then temporarily 
remove them from the round robin (that means you should see it disappear
very soon). 
If the problem is not fixed after 1 month, the mirror is dropped.

I'd like to remark that freshclam is not affected by broken mirrors and
can always download the latest CVD as long as at least one of the
mirrors in the RR is working correctly.


Best regards
