Very slow to Download updates

Running XP and trying to manually download Avast updates. I keep getting connection terminated then a retry. Is their a current problem with the Avast update service ?

No, I don’t think so.
Maybe your firewall could be blocking the connections?

Well its only just started. It has been working flawlessly for 2 years.

I am having the same problem – can’t get updates. This just started today (June 1) and I have made no updates of new programs to my system. Help!

One of our providers had an accident regarding the power supply. About 1/3 of our servers are dead, but the retry system should cope with that (maybe with some slowdowns).

OK, sorry for the confusion in my previous message.
I checked on my computers and everything seems to be fine - but I didn’t realize that I’m using a special servers.def file, i.e. different servers.

Let’s hope the servers will be back up again soon - until then, please allow the “retry system” to take care of that.

Ok thanks for the info. answers my original question.
