I often get numerous log messages about errors connecting to the clamav
database servers. Here is an extract from a recent log (times are EDT

daily.inc updated (version: 6389, sigs: 64718, f-level: 26, builder: arnaud)
Database updated (234394 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP:
208.67.80.27)
Clamd successfully notified about the update.
This was a particularly bad case. Can anyone explain why there should
be so many errors? Is 4:30 AM just a bad time for downloading?
