ftp.f-prot.com is the one that I connect to.   The 4x daily downloads get unzipped 15 minutes later.  Here's my download log from those three days, nothing fishy from what I can see:

BTW, I did catch the problem that was limiting this to skipping the 9 p.m. scheduled update.  User error.  Also, if people find this too off-topic for the JunkMail list, just ask and I will bury the topic.

I update 4 times a day with scheduling, but for some reason, this time
it took a while for my server to get the update.  I checked my logs and
the definitions changed size at the time when it started detecting
Sobig.F, but that was Wednesday at 3:15 (Sobig.F started early Monday).
Someone else suggested that this was also later than his F-Prot, and I
believe him, but no suggestions for why this happened have come my way.

Why do you update definitions so seldom? FProt updated the same day that
SoBig.F started being circulated, from the experience of those on thsi
      
list.

I would have been letting Sobig.F through Declude plus F-Prot from
      
Monday
  
all the way through Wednesday at 3 p.m (when my F-Prot was updated with
appropriate definitions).
