AntiVir servers slow?

Hello,
Anyone noticed this? Tried to update on one of the machines that does run AV on it, and the update failed the first time, took 3 minutes the other, when normally it's snappy 5-6 seconds.
Mrk

 

Just updated on my dad's PC, update was actually quite fast.

 

Really SLOOOOOOOOOW here too!
5 minutes and still no connection yet.

Maybe they're having server problems, or possibly they're busy pushing out something large like a version upgrade - which has slowed things down in the past.

 

no problems here!

I've got better things to do anyways then watch update progress

 

Skow here for free servers, normal for paid one.

 

Sometimes slow for the free Avira. With the premium version it's always fast but what actually happens sometimes I get ' Status:Internet connection failed' when I prompt the update from the tray, whereas if I do it from the GUI it either updates or tells me my protection is optimal.

 

If it's free version, try checking updates around midnight their time, usually works for me. If it's paid version, no idea what the problem is.....

 

Updating Premium was panfully slow for me last night - normally takes a few seconds. I thought it was downloading a huge update, but it wasn't - it was just slow.

 

I don't think it's any cause for concern.... if there's an issue, I'm sure they will fix it asap. As they sometimes say, "sh*t happens"......

 

What is the latest version for AntiVir Premium Security Suite? Mine is 8.1.0.245 and have seen no new version update.

 

I guess this qualifies as 'larger update' for avira, but if you take a look at my update speed for the paid version, I don't seem to have any issues. Admittedly it's 7:45AM german time at the moment.
If you take their user base into account (around 60million), a 4.5MB update will cause around 257 TERAByte of Traffic for their servers. Add to that the other updates after it and you come up with quite some load

 

I had a similar event but after 15 minutes update worked normal speed.

 

Hello,
It seems they have fixed whatever needed fixing ...
Mrk

yes, this is correct for the AV

 

Product version: 8.1.0.367 - 2008-08-12

 

this is what I show for the suite.

 

Today it was a huge update again and as usual the server to update was very slow, but this has starting to happend often and it is very Normal thing, the updates will be updated but just little slower because it's a huge Update.

Nothing to worry about or complaining,

Bye,

 

yes today was a update of the antivir0.vdf. For this udpate 8 new servers were added but this seems not to be enough.

with the update 100000 signatures will be removed which are covered by the generics.

But now something is wrong look at the picture

 

if you can't wait till their servers start working properly, just go to the web site and manually download the update, no problems there all working ok

well the premium sevrers seems to be work as normal now. only the classic servers are busy at the moment.

 

Pretty much as always... Are you in a hurry, or? Just stop watching the updates window and set them to "Invisible" instead.

BTW, packing this updates stuff as tar.bz2 or better yet 7z could reduce their traffic significantly.

 

Avira is updating very slow here. First time I've encountered this. Although I've saw numerous other people have problems with Avira updater servers. Running high speed dsl here. Pic attached.

 

did you read my post above?

This is normal, it happends sometimes, the updates will be up to dated so no worry.
