Closest mirrors</A>
</H3>
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="tex2html10"
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="tex2html11"
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 have the following lines included in <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 the connection to the first
mirror fails for some reason. The full list of two-letters country codes
is available at <TT><A NAME="tex2html12"
