Hello,

since I am only connected to the Internet by a 56K Modem, that topic is also interesting for me:

Does fleshclam actually nothing else but downloading main.dvd and daily.dvd and storing it in /var/lib/clamav? I recently ran freshcalm via my dialup connection and it started to download main.dvd. After about 15 minutes (33% was downloaded) a checksum error occured and freshcalm restarted the download. Thus I prefer to download main.dvd and daily.dvd to my USB stick and to copy it later to /var/lib/clamav.

If I understood this thread right, this method works correct. But what about the checksum check of freshclam?

Kind regards, Axel
