If you get a checksum error select another download mirror site from the drop down box within Spybot.

256110 2004-07-28 12:59:00 Hmmmmmmmmmmm,

The usual problem, no matter what server I use I always get a bad checksum until finally after much patience and further trying it will eventually be correct, but not yet.

256111 2004-07-28 13:12:00 I have Spybot 1.3 and on the strength of andrew 93's post, I updated a few minutes ago.
I opened the program & used the Update buttons. No problem.

256112 2004-07-28 13:33:00 I don't have any problems with AVG or any other d/l's that I make, sometimes 160 meg on dialup, which takes all night, but check this out:

256113 2004-07-28 13:39:00 I used to have problems with the downloads but that was when I was on dialup, no problems since I changed to JetStream - keep trying, there is a download there and if the Aussie EON site is showing the download being available then try that one - it usually gives me the least trouble. andrew93 (249)
256114 2004-07-28 13:53:00 I have d/l'ed the zip using Star d/l but how do I update Spybot now that I have the zip on my hard drive? zqwerty (97)
256115 2004-07-28 14:34:00 Sorry I can't help you with an analysis, zqwerty.
(I'm a newbie who doesn't know about checksum stuff & mirrors).
But I'm also on dialup (Win98SE with low specs) so there's no magic at this end. I just searched for updates in the program.. then gottit.
Only thing is, I changed recently to Firefox as my browser. Maybe the problem is with Internet Explorer?

256116 2004-07-28 16:29:00 Hi,
Until a few weeks ago, I was only using IE, now I use Firefox.

I update Spybot (v1.3 -upgraded 17/5/04), AVG, and Ad-Aware via the programs themselves and have never (touch wood) received a Check sum error. In fact have never received any error while downloading anything.

Don't know why, but very glad nevertheless. Hope someone is able to help out with your problem.

Regards Marg.
