database servers. Here is an extract from a recent log (times are EDT
= UTC - 0400):

Database updated (234394 signatures) from db.us.clamav.net (IP: 208.67.80.27)
Clamd successfully notified about the update.

This was a particularly bad case. Can anyone explain why there should
be so many errors? Is 4:30 AM just a bad time for downloading?

Re: Problems connecting to freshclam servers [In reply to]

Is your clam AV version up to date? I sometimes see similar messages when I"m more than one levelset behind and the mirrors have changed. What does
clamscan -V and freshclam -V reveal?

This has been so bad the last couple weeks that I changed from
db.us.clamav.net to db.ca.clamav.net. That helped a lot. The problem
started here when I installed the recent RC1 drop but I don't believe
that is related.

Everytime you _do_ download any defs, it is from db.us.clamav.net.
Possibly an ISP problem? Or router? What happens if you ping the places
you can't connect to?

It pretty much has to be. The only database address lines in my
freshclam.conf file are:

DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net

and I'm located in the US so they both refer to the same thing.

I doubt it is a network-related problem of the sort you mention. (Not
that I have any real evidence; this is just an intuition.)

At any rate, I can't ping anything because pings are blocked on my
campus network. Traceroute works, but in all the cases I tried it gets
blocked before reaching the final destination.

The inventive, story telling conspiricist in me wants to suspect the
new owners are jiggering things so as to make a premium commercial
offering of highly reliable db updates more palatable. The rational
professional side of me thinks that could never happen. I do love a
good conspiracy, tho. Such a service would more closely match the
support model of Snort if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Problems connecting to freshclam servers [In reply to]

Hello,

there a lot of users still running old ClamAV versions that do not
support incremental updates (especially in US, as it seems).
The size of daily.cvd is almost 2MB, and this is hurting some mirrors.

We are going to release a main.cvd update in the first half of April,
that should ease the pressure on the mirrors.

Best regards

Last time around for that it created a pretty hefty hit for the
servers. Should we expect that again?

Probably, but we'll try to limit the effects by extending the TTL of the
TXT record.
