[clamav-users] Mirror issues and what we are doing to fix it

[Dennis Peterson]

I had the same thing happen and I also got successful dl's of the daily.cld file 
multiple times and I'm sure it would have continued looping forever if I'd not 
stopped it after observing it was stuck in a loop. Same symptoms on two separate 
systems. Couldn't find the cdiff file and the corresponding daily.cld file was 
not available.

Several times my client would start a daily.cld only to have the connection 
terminated by the server. The data speed was very low - after 10 minutes a 
daily.cld file would be at 40%. Because the daily.cld file was not current the 
attempt to dl a diff file would begin immediately.

I think it unwise to have mirrors in Germany and Spain included in the 
db.us.clamav.net RR, and the cdiff files should not be available until the 
corresponding daily.cld file is already available else these loops will happen.
