I just found 75 diffs for daily.cvd on my mirror. This should be enough but it should be no problem for the mirror-cordinators to increase the number of files.

According to your hint due to the limited diffs, i checked my logs for 404-errors. And i found a lot! Usually freshclam should get the latest .cvd if some diffs are missing on the server. But i found something like: GET /daily-16436.cdiff HTTP/1.0" 200 GET /daily-13811.cdiff HTTP/1.0" 404 The second connect was made 8 hours after the first one. Both were comming from the same ip and regarding to the user-agent it was the same user. I see no reason to download 13811 when 16436 is allready downloaded. I think, it`s more a dns-problem (freshclam checks for updates by dns) than anything else. A few months ago i had some trouble when checking the current version of clamav by dns. regards Florian _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
