Yes, I am aware of that, in fact it did so in every case and since I do updates on a scheduled basis, it's no real impact. The problem comes when a user has need for a spontaneous scan of a file and requests a definition update before the scan. At this point he must wait an additional 30 seconds which, over the course of a day, results in unacceptable (to him) non-productive time. In his view, such a connection error should result in a failure being logged and eventually blacklisting that server. I suggested to him that he file a bug report to thst effect, but the problem at that time was resolved, so elected not to bother.
