Hi, The last downloads of new reference files ('Check for updates now') are
often giving problems.
The retrieve updates are often stopping at 35% of the download.
Is it due to an overloaded server ?
Stopping the download is of course letting a corrupted reference file.
Generally retrying a few times and I'm getting the file fully downloaded,
but I didn't have this issue before.

Probably since Grisoft has announced end of support for ver. 6
effective Dec. 31. Everybody's rushing to get the latest signature file.

Just shows how often people really do keep their antivirus software up
to date.

Ad-Aware definition downloads have been behaving strangely on my
machine for the last couple months too.

I get the full download, but then it seems to hang and never says
finished. But I do get the download and it updates its screen saying
so when I restart it.

Or it will give me the complete download and instantly exit the
program.

However, in all cases I DO get the download and it works fine when I
restart it.

Very strange. Oh, this is on Windows 2000.
