I realize that, but I believe in that person's case back the he was doing a basic web server to re-distributed the full .cvd files (which is what were getting stale). Whereas doing a proxy server (like squid) would be more transparent and fetch the .cdiff files, which are always unique each time there is an update. > The only problem with the local mirrors, from our point of view are a couple > things: > > 1.

I vaguely remember a discussion a while back about ClamAV's anonymous statistics got removed some time ago? Was there any plan to re-implement? I think 3 different choices for the end-user would be all you would need: 1. Don't Participate 2. Send anonymous version info. 3. Send #2 + daily viruses caught. If you started getting feedback on which viruses were the most frequent, then you could start publishing live statistics! I would think you could do some basic calculations based on the cloudflare data on how many clients are grabbing the updates, and also use those IPs to determine country usage. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
