Unless you maintain your own clamav mirror, which is closer to you then any other mirrors, and you trust to have close to 100% uptime :D Here's a snippet from freshclam.conf on my clamav installation (from RPM package) #============= # database.clamav.net is a round-robin record which points to our most # reliable mirrors. It's used as a fall back in case db.XY.clamav.net is # not working. DO NOT TOUCH the following line unless you know what you # are doing. DatabaseMirror db.id.clamav.net DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net #============= So you can use DatabaseMirror directive. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
