The same problem seems to have just happened again. For the past few hours
my jobs has been returning errors . Before I post the details I'll put the
question here -- is anyone else seeing mirror issues or should I be looking
for a local problem ?
These were the errors my regular job (freshclam --quiet) was returning:
ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-6649.cdiff from db.us.clamav.net
ERROR: Can't download daily.cvd from db.us.clamav.net
ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-6649.cdiff from database.clamav.net
ERROR: Can't download daily.cvd from database.clamav.net
I did a freshclam -v whos output looked like this:

And a lot more of the same
However, I tried the URL's above with wget, and it downloaded the file.
I interpreted the above to mean that freshclam was using the cached data in
mirrors.dat to know not to try ANY mirror, but was still running -- and
trying over and over but not actually doing anything.
Since this had been going on for a few hours I renamed mirrors.dat and reran
freshclam, whjich then downloaded the most recent updates:
