Spybot S&D question

by Berfert Dec 11, 2005 10:42PM PST

Over the 2-3 months it seems that whenever I update Spybot the very 1st location I choose to download from I get CRC errors. After letting it timeout or it stops on it's own the second site always pulls in the updates correctly. This even happens if I choose the 2nd selection from the previous update as the 1st site it still errors out.

Is anybody else seeing this?

That is a very common problem

especially within the first few hours of when new updates are released. If and when I see the error myself, I usually just try again a few hours later. The update servers get overloaded.
