The default database mirror is <TT><A NAME="tex2html18" 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="tex2html19" 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="tex2html20" HREF="http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm">http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm</A></TT> <P> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> Tomasz Kojm 2010-08-12 </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
