Could you let us have a bit more than that?  There are many possible
reasons why an HTTP GET request could fail.  The message you've shown
is what happens when the FC_EFAILEDGET is set, but there are a dozen
or so places in the code where that can happen for different reasons.

In most cases there's a also a more informative message, immediately
before the general 'HTTP GET failed' message.

You can also get more verbose logging, which is sometimes useful, by
tweaking your configuration (e.g. set LogVerbose in freshclam.conf).
