Slow as hell downloading from ftp://ftp.f-prot.com/pub/ for about 2 weeks

ntl broadband no problems surfing/downloading anywhere else just f-prot ftp.
Can the newest updates be downloaded anywhere else?

I've been having the same problems on a half-dozen computers but it seems to
have cleared up within the last day.

I'm in the US and noted it was trying to update from EUR- servers. It would
always fail, timeouts. Now it's using using us-2.updates.f-prot.net and it
seems ok.

This has happened before sporadically though, so I would be interested in
finding out what's going on. There's no info about the problems at their
site and the form you have to fill out to send a support request takes so
long to fill out I haven't bothered.

Good luck.

I just tried a couple of things with no success (from eastern U.S.). I
couldn't update via http, and I couldn't even access Frisk's web site.
So something is definitely amiss.

I haven't yet taken the time to investigate various mirror sites. If I
get to it later on, and find out anything, I'll post the info here.

I just tried the ftp site you posted and it worked ok. So does http
updating and access to the f-prot web site. So it looks from here
right now that things are back up.

D/L'ed 2 days ago, w/o any problems (very good speed).
The d/l speed varies greatly (as bad as double the "normal").
Generaly, daytime (EST) on weekends is hopeless.

FWIW: Attempt to d/l macrdef2.zip. If the time exceeeds whatever
you consider "good" for your connection, try again later. Note
that's on a dialup -- IMMV.
