Yes. But we can’t have infinite amounts of versions of downloads sticking around. People have boxes and cronjobs long forgotten sitting there attempting to download the definitions for version 0.84. If we were to allow downloads for every version, we might as well shut down the project. Plus, it’s security software….

It’s at least two more versions downloading. Every version adds additional bandwidth consumption to the mirror network. _______________________________________________ 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
