Am I the only one unable to download the current (10-7) definitions
file?

I can't either. Have been having problems downloading most definitions
lately in fact. It might be because of the popularity of the program and
server overloading.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago but it only happened if I tried
to download all the definitions, English help file, etc. at once (have
all the check boxes checked). If I did one at a time, it seemed to work
fine. No idea why.

Performed the same procedure yesterday and, like you, it worked just
fine. Server overload is the usual answer.

Choose a different server from the pull-down menu. I generally use 'Safer
Networking #2 (Europe)' and dont recall ever having a problem

Thanks for that tip. I didn't realize you could choose a different
server. Guess I should pay more attention.

No doubt. I received a checksum error earlier when I posted the
query but the d/l went well some time later in the day. Thanks.

I just downloaded the new detection rules without any problems.
(Prior to today, I've was getting "bad checksum" error messages;
this occurred every Friday evening for 3 weeks. I assume it's because
of problems with the server.) HTH, He2

Yep, I just did the dl and it went very fast. I guess the trick is to
hold off until the feeding frenzy slows down. 80)>

What I did was to repeat and it had the same result, that is bad checksum.
I uninstalled Spybot, deleted it to the bin, downloaded spybot and all is
well. After downloading and checking my settings in advance mode it found
smitfraud.c (I think it was .c) and removed it. Weird. All is well.

Their ethics are a short summary of police ordinances: for them the
most important thing is to be a useful member of the state, and to air
their opinions in the club of an evening; they have never felt the
homesickness for something unknown and far away, nor the depths which
consists in being nothing at all. ___________Soren Kierkegaard
