That message doesn't elaborate on what problem(s) was (were) caused.

The message does call out that people were downloading files too many 
times a day when the file would change nominally once a day.

I understand that freshclam / cvupdate have some optimizations to 
determine if an update is needed or not.

I fail to see how using chrome, et al., or anything other than freshclam 
/ cvupdate, with a weekly cadence will cause any problems for any 
server, much less reputable CDN.

What am I not understanding?  Please clarify what problem(s) was (were) 
caused.
