What happens if you try to open that link in your browser? Your browser should offer to download it to a file - if it fails at the same point the problem is not likely to do with freshclam. But to eliminate the possibility it is your system, substitute us for ca in the URL and try again. If it succeeds in downloading you may be better off using a US site as a short term fix. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
