Hello- Need Help Please!

I'm having problems downloading the AVG./Grisoft
Virus updates for the free edition. From the AVG Control
center it downloads the updates at a snails pace despite
my Roadrunner connection. Same thing directly from
the website. This has been like this since Nov. 1 update. It will
take 20 minutes to download 30% of a patch and then
freeze up I never had this problem before.

Any Advice?

It worked fine for me earlier today. I think everyone is updating due to
the recent virus scare - so I guess the traffic is too much

Hi!
I had the same problem but on the update controll panel I can choose betwen
update from grisoft.com and grisoft.cz. I changed it to grisoft.cz and it
works fine.

cz site much better. Mine started fast 3-4Kps (dialup) but later slowed to
the 100-200 bps. Much better results by downloading directly from web
(using Getright in my case) into the AVG Updates folder. The .cz server
also support Resume even though the AVG client seems to thing it doesnt?

There is usually a link to the latest update file from the grisoft home
page.

yep me too i got the cz. 1-- after 2hrs to find when i moved it into the
updates folder then restarted the control centre wasnt active & functional
, thinking i had a non english ver. i got the right 1 & tried again
....no luck so as of 40mins ago i tried through the update button on avg
& it installed itself spot on .---------
