I think if every user were to poll every mirror every 10 minutes as suggested, they would all discover an update at about the same time and all would then begin the download process. Everyone, everywhere, and within minutes of each other. If, in addition, every user were to discover the best responding server by means of polling them, then every user would hit that server within minutes of each other when the update becomes available. It would quickly stop being the quickest responding server as you can well imagine, and the owner just may decide to withdraw it as a mirror. I think it is best for all if we end users use the system as designed and recommended and not craft clever code that potentially introduces a high astonishment factor to our hard working vendor and which has the potential to bring the system to it's knees. dp ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
