Hmm, interesting ... I hadn't noticed that the successful updates happen
at the same time.  The error I posted is the *only* message (send to
root via email) returned by 'freshclam --quiet' running from cron and I
hadn't made the connection between this happening and an update coming
through.

Will check this out more closely the next time it happens.

By the way, belittling a legitimate problem report with "Don't see what
the fuss is about" and "Who cares?" is not actually very helpful,
although your log listing *is* helpful.  Just because a particular
problem might seem benign, that's no reason to ignore it.  As was
posted, it seems that this error is a symptom of some of the mirrors
being unavailable, which *is* a problem, even if client updates are
ultimately getting through.

Dave.
