We are definitely OT now, so please stop it.
Other than that, I must say I cannot understand why Avast Team has not comment on this issue louder. We already know they are working on it, but they didn't comment at all here in the forum.
About the full VPS for offline updates, I disagree with the comments about not being important. Sure, most users would not use it, but those with offline systems indeed use it all the time. They may not get infected by on line malware, but other ways of spread still exist, so updating once in awhile is still needed.
Let's hope this fix won't take too long. And now, please, let's add useful info (like for example news about this issue being resolved), instead of useless OT comments. Thank you all.
