 Closest mirrors</A>
 </H2>
     The <code>DatabaseMirror</code> directive in the config file specifies the
     database server <code>freshclam</code> will attempt (up to <code>MaxAttempts</code>
     times) to download the database from. The default database mirror
     is <TT><A NAME="tex2html33"
   HREF="database.clamav.net">database.clamav.net</A></TT> but multiple directives are allowed.
     In order to download the database from the closest mirror you should  
     configure <code>freshclam</code> to use <TT><A NAME="tex2html34"
   HREF="db.xx.clamav.net">db.xx.clamav.net</A></TT> where xx
     represents your country code. For example, if your server is in "Ascension
     Island" you should add the following lines to <code>freshclam.conf</code>:
     <PRE>
 	DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
 	DatabaseMirror db.ac.clamav.net
 	DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
 </PRE>
     The second entry acts as a fallback in case a connection to the first
     mirror fails for some reason. The full list of two-letters country codes
     is available at <TT><A NAME="tex2html35"
   HREF="http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm">http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm</A></TT>
