Summary: Clamwin updates slow as molasses (appinstall) Product: Wine Version: 1.1.24 Platform: PC URL: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupna me=clamwin&filename=clamwin-0.94-setup.exe&use_mirror= superb-east OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com
When installing Clamwin, it bundles its virus definitions in main.cvd and daily.cvd. Obviously, daily.cvd changes a lot, and if the bundled version is not current, a new one is downloaded. The file is small (~970 KB) and when installing on windows, only takes at most 5 seconds or so to download on xp (in a vm). On the same connection in wine, it takes up to a few minutes to download.
The problem does not appear to be related to mirrors, since it happens every time.
