TDS update (2-4-2004)

[rerun2]

I have had some trouble getting the 2-4-2004 update today.

16:16:46 [Init] • Systems Initialised [31537 references - 11301 primaries/9015 traces/11221 variants/other]
16:16:46 [Init] Radius Systems loaded. <Databases updated 02-02-2004>
16:18:42 [Radius Update] Database already up-to-date - transfer aborted.

I then went to the diamondcs site and downloaded the new update.cfg file and replaced it with the one in my program directory it actually downloaded an older sig.

16:27:59 [Radius] Loading Radius Advanced Scanning Systems ... <R3 Engine, DCS Labs>
16:28:06 [Radius] • Radius Advanced Specialist Extensions on standby for 13 trojan families
16:28:06 [Radius] • Systems Initialised [31180 references - 11094 primaries/8913 traces/11173 variants/other]

Hi Rerun2,

I have this:

03:28:35 [Init] • Systems Initialised [31599 references - 11333 primaries/9028 traces/11238 variants/other]
03:28:35 [Init] Radius Systems loaded. <Databases updated 04-02-2004>

Try to download it from the DCS-site; that's where I got it from. There was only a Radius-file update, no update for dcsmutex.dll (last one I got from 27-01-04) or advscan.dll (last I got from 18-12-03) today.


For Wayne:
Sorry Wayne, but why do I see the last time more questions about updates?

I'll check the update servers again :-\

What must have happened is an update server wont receive the file, probably down, and then comes back up when I go home - and people start downloading off the server.

When I locate the server in question, will give it a good talking to ;)

[Gavin - DiamondCS]

http://www.rootgap.com/tds/radius.td3 definitely has a problem

DONT use this mirror for now ;) there are plenty more of course if you want to remove it from your update.cfg

[rerun2]

Thank you FanJ and Gavin for your help. Is it possible that there is another bad mirror?

I manually downloaded the latest radius from the site and i was able to get the latest signatures.

21:37:38 [Init] Loading Radius Advanced Scanning Systems ... <R3 Engine, DCS Labs>
21:37:46 [Init] • Radius Advanced Specialist Extensions on standby for 13 trojan families
21:37:46 [Init] • Systems Initialised [31599 references - 11333 primaries/9028 traces/11238 variants/other]
21:37:46 [Init] Radius Systems loaded. <Databases updated 04-02-2004>

But then I checked for updates again using TDS' updater, after removing the rootgap.com entry and it still downloaded the old ones as if they were new

21:42:06 [Radius] Loading Radius Advanced Scanning Systems ... <R3 Engine, DCS Labs>
21:42:18 [Radius] • Radius Advanced Specialist Extensions on standby for 13 trojan families
21:42:18 [Radius] • Systems Initialised [31180 references - 11094 primaries/8913 traces/11173 variants/other]
21:42:19 [Radius] Radius Systems loaded. <Databases updated 04-02-2004>
21:42:19 [Radius Update] Update complete.

Hi rerun2,
I used to have trouble using the "autodowload for registered members" so I just went to < http://tds.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=update and did a manual update using the "save target as" instruction described on the page. I must admit I have had no problems since! hope this helps.

[rerun2]

Thanks everyone for the help :D

Jooske, after updating my update.cfg file with the server list you posted, I finally got the correct update through TDS' updater. Do you know if the order of the update.cfg list matters? Thank you.

[Jooske]

Yes the order matters for the mirrors, and the file is changed frequently to try to spread the load evenly over the mirrors; so occasionally grab a fresh update.cfg from the update site -- if all is working correctly for us users it shouldn't make any difference

This also seems to be broken, I cant upload a new file there :-\
Sorry for the problems, I have removed both these sites from the update.cfg online - anyone who visits the update page will get a randomised one with ALL working servers now :D

[FanJ]

Hi Gavin,

These things can happen.
Sorry that you had so much trouble with it all.

Keep up the good work !!!

Cheers, Jan.
