artist Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Recently I have had a problem downloading the updates - I usually can after several attempts. The message that pops up tells me that an automatic link with internet cannot be established - when I am definately connected!Any Ideas?

mark2 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 The problem seems to occur when the new updates are announced, my guess is they are so busy that your attempt to connect to their server times out and produces that message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankus Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 And me , it seems to have started after that last virus outbreak ........Maybe they are cost cutting and have reduced their server capacity ... There was talk a while back about the possibility of charging for the next major AVG upgrade.......Or due to the prevalence of the new viruses , more people have taken up AVG , and are downloading their updates more often .......It takes me several attempts to get an update.....As long as we can still get the updates , Im not to overly concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moon Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 That's just during the past year. The Pit has switched servers twice since 2000 and we all lost our post counts. He also holds down a full time job and drives distances to help lil' ol' ladies with their setups. Bit of a rare dood, if you ask me, which you ain't, so I'm off. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 the lack of connections is the main reason i switched to Avast....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 And much smaller update downloads for avast too, kb instead of Mb, latest update done in less than 15 secs, on my laptop, on desktop AVG took approx 2 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
