Originally, when we were pulling ClamAV updates over a slowish DSL line, I wanted to save bandwidth, and a Private Mirror looked ideal. Then, when we started using the much faster cable link, I just kept it, since it worked, and it also kept machines like our file server isolated from the Internet.
Then, when we had trouble with Cloudflare's BOS server often being out of sync (for CVDs) with the DNS TXT record, I removed it. Now, I am dismayed that I have to give our file server a bit of Internet access so that it can directly download the CDIFFs.
