[clamav-users] Mirror redirect to emeksensin.com

Not sure what you reason for trying to reach that mirror from your browser, but if you are experiencing a problem with it then a better method might be to use the following Terminal command to see what your history with that site has been:

/usr/local/clamXav/bin/freshclam --list-mirrors

In my case I get:

which does appear to confirm problems with that server and it’s been temporarily marked “Ignore” for me.  I would have to guess that it’s no longer a valid clamav.net mirror server.

ClamAV used to have a site where you could check the integrity of all mirror sites by country, but that page was taken down with a promise to replace it with something more useful, but that doesn’t seem to have happened.  I found it very useful in such cases as it told me immediately if a server was down or out-of-date so I could then contact their network administrator directly about it.
