Due to me nearly running out of bandwidth last month (17gb out of a 20gb host package), some urgent changes were needed to the signature hosting, otherwise I'd start getting charged for the extra bandwidth :(
So, to keep this short, here's a to-do list ;) *** One: Mirrors *** Three new mirrors are now available, in preferred order: Mirror 1: A huge thanks to http://dotsrc.org/ (formerly known as SunSITE.dk) as they are now a mirror for my signatures, hourly updating from the main site. Mirror 2: Thanks to http://tiscali.nl, as they seem to be a mirror for my signatures, hourly updating from the main site Mirror 3: Thanks to a special offer deal from Surpass Hosting, I setup a sanesecurity.co.uk domain, to try and ease the load from the main sanesecurity.com site. So, please could you all change your download scripts to download from the above mirrors, not only will this help avoid me getting hit with hosting charges but you benefit as you should be able to increase the frequency you check for download changes. The new download Links have been updated on the download page and so have the scripts: http://sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/downloads.htm http://sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/usage.htm *** Two: check your download scripts *** Please could everyone check that their scripts are only grabbing the signatures when they have changed. Some users have been downloading the sigs regardless of any changes and it's not really helping. While other users have made mistakes with their scripts/cron jobs and are trying to download every minute :( *** Three: a blog *** In order to improve the site news (instead of hijacking this list) I've setup a blog... as it happens, you might find some of the stuff interesting as well ;) http://sanesecurity.blogspot.com/ That's it and thanks for everyone's understanding!
