Technically what we do is publish a zero byte cdiff. This makes freshclam force update and grab the whole cvd. Then, from that point on, the new daily cvd will be much smaller, and updates should apply faster. Ultimately saving on bandwidth as the daily.cvd will be much smaller. Again, like I just said in my other email, if you’re not using 0.103.3, you should start that upgrade engine.
