This being said, there is definitely a recurring issue with this particular
mirror. Since Aug 22, I've seen:
% grep "Can't connect to port 80 of host database.clamav.net (IP:
88.198.67.125)" /var/log/freshclam.log | wc -l
27
...with zero successful connections to that IP. The connectivity failure is
entirely reproducible by hand:
% telnet 88.198.67.125 80
Trying 88.198.67.125...
telnet: connect to address 88.198.67.125: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Well I wonder if it is a configuration issue on the web server of thus
mirror. Others have reported that it responds to pings but will not
accept connections on port 80. Maybe the config is unrealistically
limiting connections......
I don't consider this to be a significant problem since other mirrors are up,
but it's not a matter of bandwidth or connectivity on my side. As it happens,
I'm testing from Cupertino, CA via Apple's 17.0.0.0/8 network, and from a
Time-Warner cable link from NYC, NY on 24.103.0.0/16.
Is Apple running an ISP on 17.0.0.0/8? If so, maybe my objection to
Apple having a class A pubic subnet is unjustified.....
