We were getting a lot of failed attempts to download from various mirrors, but I don't think it ever completely blocked updates. In any case, early Friday morning I deleted mirrors.dat to see if it would help. Since then I have seen several "bad" mirrors, but have still been able to download (we're most recently at 23713).
One perhaps significant difference from common usage is that freshclam on our gateway is run as cron job every 1.5 hours, rather than running continuously and doing its own timing. Thus it gets "reset" every time it attempts to update the database. (We always download the cvd files to our gateway machine and then serve them from there to the other machines on the LAN.) Some of today's error msgs from freshclam include: WARNING: getfile: daily.cvd not found on db.us.clamav.net (IP: 155.98.64.87) Can't connect to port 80 of host db.us.clamav.net (IP: 64.6.100.177) Can't connect to port 80 of host db.us.clamav.net (IP: 208.72.56.53) Can't connect to port 80 of host db.us.clamav.net (IP: 64.22.33.90) Can't connect to port 80 of host db.us.clamav.net (IP: 168.143.19.95) The latest successful download was: ------------------------------ Friday 25 August 2017 at 18:06:02 EDT Current working dir is /opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.99.2/share/clamav Max retries == 4 ClamAV update process started at Fri Aug 25 18:06:02 2017 Using IPv6 aware code Querying current.cvd.clamav.net TTL: 615 Software version from DNS: 0.99.2 main.cvd version from DNS: 58 main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr) daily.cvd version from DNS: 23713 Retrieving http://db.us.clamav.net/daily.cvd Trying to download http://db.us.clamav.net/daily.cvd (IP: 150.214.142.197) Downloading daily.cvd [100%] Loading signatures from daily.cvd Properly loaded 1742567 signatures from new daily.cvd daily.cvd updated (version: 23713, sigs: 1742567, f-level: 63, builder: neo) Querying daily.23713.82.1.0.96D68EC5.ping.clamav.net bytecode.cvd version from DNS: 309 bytecode.cvd is up to date (version: 309, sigs: 69, f-level: 63, builder: bbaker) Database updated (6308885 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP: 150.214.142.197) OnUpdateExecute: EXIT_1 ------------------------------ Friday 25 August 2017 at 18:06:34 EDT ================================================================================= On Fri, 25 Aug 2017 20:44:58 +0000 "Joel Esler (jesler)" <jes...@cisco.com> wrote: > We are working on ways to not only fix the on going mirror issues, > but prevent them in the future, as well as bring back the Mirror page > on ClamAV.net<http://ClamAV.net> at some point soon. > > That being said — We are seeing nothing wrong between our mirrors > (that work), and our Sync servers.
