That had been going on all night, and it tried only one the same, non-working, IP address repeatedly each time it was run. I then deleted mirrors.dat and ran freshclam again, and it succeeded. It seems that freshclam had created a mirrors.dat file that completely ruined its ability to try more than one fixed IP address, even when the mirror at that address failed. -- Jesper Dybdal, Denmark. http://www.dybdal.dk (in Danish). _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
