I noticed that freshclam had problems when it tried to get 
safebrowsing.cvd and that it tried every five seconds for three or five 
times.  But it gave up relatively quickly and is falling back to it's 
regularly scheduled once an hour cycle.

My experience has been that Cloudflare has usually been good about per 
IP filtering vs per IP /block/ filtering.

Per the freshclam.conf man page, it looks like the code's default is 
once every two hours.

I would hope -> expect that to be satisfactory.

Though comments in the man page say to check the safebrowsing file every 
30 minutes.
