Hey, all.

The last couple of days, I'm seeing some errors from freshclam trying to get updates for diffs, etc.:

Code:
ERROR: getpatch: Can't download main-60.cdiff from database.clamav.net
ERROR: Can't download main.cvd from database.clamav.net
OK, so I checked to see whether the connection to database.clamav.net was broken:

Code:
[[email protected] ~]# curl -sIL database.clamav.net
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

403 error is certainly unexpected. Any thoughts? I'd have expected somebody else to have posted about this already were it a global issue.

Cheers,
