Thanks for the script, Jerod - it'll make a good stop-gap for now. :) Pretty tempting to do a date/time check on those files, considering their size. I prefer to do hourly updates of AV defs. Never know when having them a few hours earlier can save some headache. Anyone out there have a script that does tests before it downloads? Something like this could be plowed through pretty quickly with some of those perl ftp mods.
