Streaming updates
« on: January 22, 2014, 09:03:08 PM »
Hi,
  I just noticed that my last 'virus definitions' update was around 8:42AM (about 6 hours ago EST).

It says 'connection established,' and when I click update it says 'Already up to date.' (Version 140121-1)
I'm up to date on the 'Program' version too. (2014.9.0.2013)

Usually streaming updates come in several times an hour, is it normal to go this long? Maybe I never paid close enough attention before...

Same for me, nothing all day. Pretty obvious that there is a server issue (again.)

VPS updates can be sparse sometimes, if you check in settings/ update you'll notice that the streaming updates are very regular and no need to worry.

Thanks, craigb.
    The 6-hour gap kind of threw me. As long as it says things are up to date, I won't worry too much about it.

Wrong. We've been through this a bunch of times before.  The connection is established but there is no data up/down from the server(s) in question. It is a definite concern when this happens time and time again. Maybe this will be resolved shortly or maybe this will go on for several days like in the past.

I think you'll find you are wrong ::) if you had of checked your steaming updates you would have seen that there is nothing wrong with data transmission and as the OP has now received an update only proves there was nothing to be concerned about.

Looking at the "Components Status" in Statistics, I received 95 streaming updates in the last 24 hours .........

Well when they are pushed out to the servers that cover your area then you'll get them, as already stated you are receiving streaming updates so you are protected none the less.

I've received 180 updates in the last 24 hour period.  However, on my WinXP machine, streaming updates stopped at 8:42 AM EST, with one more update at 2:57 PM EST this afternoon.  Nothing since then.  It seems server r-052-044-234-077.ff.avast.com is possibly to blame.

Just not at the same level as those getting the current updates.

As already stated, I am NOT getting streaming updates so I am not be protected as I should be.
