Updating for a network of 100 machines is a different story, but when
running one copy on a Declude server, there is no advantage to using
FTP. Over a year ago, the updater service would hang when F-Prot's
servers were overwhelmed. This was just bad programming on their part,
and I haven't seen this happen since then. I have the updater service
run once a day. The command line updater is a different story. When
setting it up in Task Scheduler, you can set a time limit for it if it
hangs. 5 minutes should be plenty. If it has ever hung I don't know
because I have never noticed one issue with this. I run it every 30
minutes.

I disagree that using the updater app is a better solution over using
FTP scripts (yes, I'm current on licensing).
I have 100 machines running fprot and every machine updates four times
daily. I have one machine set to download the definitions via an FTP
script and then all the other machines on the network use the updater
app to update using the FTP'd definitions. This cuts down on traffic
for everyone involved and has increased the reliability of my
definition update schedule, until the first time the defs disappeared
from the server last week that is.

Serge,
This doesn't directly answer your question, but this might be some
help. I think that the general consensus around here is that paying
for the licensed version is the best way to go since it gets you the
faster 32-bit command line app instead of the 16-bit one that the
free version has, and it has a built-in updater that you can add to
Task Scheduler with a single line:
"C:\Program Files\FSI\F-Prot\FP-Updater\Updater.exe" /HIDDEN
/INTERNET
If you are using the licensed version, try switching to the built-in
updater.
