[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#991299: Default download timeout short, retrying download endlessly

[Patrik Schindler]

Hello,

had the same issue yesterday also. Increased the timeout value to two minutes, which helped. Maybe this should be changed by an update through ucf: Most users install clamav and don't care anymore. I'm sure the load for the CDN through repeated tries not being finished in 30 seconds is substantial.

Especially a backoff time seems to be desirable to not run into blocked state with the accompanying cool-down from the CDN.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or is a sole upstream issue.

:wq! PoC
