[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#690788: clamav-freshclam: 'freshclam' won't resume (large) partial downloads.

[A. Costa]

Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.97.6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For the last few days my system can't seem to download the whole 30M
'main.cvd', it fails, tries again, fails, and tries again...:

    Setting up clamav-freshclam (0.97.6+dfsg-1) ...
    Starting database update: 
    ClamAV update process started at Wed Oct 10 19:24:11 2012
    nonblock_recv: recv timing out (30 secs)
    WARNING: getfile: Download interrupted: Operation now in progress (IP: 69.163.100.14)
    WARNING: Can't download main.cvd from db.local.clamav.net
    Trying again in 5 secs...
    ^C

Worse, the 'main.cvd' download doesn't resume where it left off.  
'freschclam' starts from '0' bytes every time.  

Please include an automatic 'resume partial downloads' function 
for large stable partial downloads.

(I have dialup ISP.  At 5Kbytes/sec, 30M takes 2 hours to fetch.  This
bug has wasted several hours.)

HTH...
