I've enabled short-time blacklisting of mirrors on connection errors in clamav-devel, please give it a try (use the git version): http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/sources/ > Does that "Ignore: Yes" entry automatically expire at some point or is > that mirror now dead forever? They will expire automatically. The mirrors ignored for a short time should return to the pool after 30 minutes (or 6 hours in clamav-devel after recent changes), and those ignored for a long term (due to severe or repeating issues) should get cleared after 3 days.
