Hello George, I will look into those mirrors to see if they are down. IF a mirror is not working, it should look to find another one. You could also try 'wget database.clamav.net/main.cvd' To see if it manually downloads it that way, then drop the file in the location
We have been working hard to correct a lot of mirror issues, but as you can see- we still have a long way to go to make mirrors work better. It is my hope that I can get the mirrors more stable for everyone moving forward.
