| 409816 | 2005-12-03 09:00:00 | I've just installed Spybot v1.4 and when it tried to download/install updates, I repeatedly got a "bad checksum" message (for all update files). Has anyone else experienced this? Whoops! I just did what I should have done first and checked the FAQ on their website and this appears to be a symptom of server overload. Just keep trying, I guess... |

| 409818 | 2005-12-03 09:07:00 | "Bad Checksum" problems can be overcome in most cases by changing the download server (site) as follows: Do not click "Search for Updates" again. Using the pull-down site selection menu (between the "Search for Updates" and "Download Updates" buttons) select another server. After changing the download server click "Download Updates" again. If you get another "Bad Checksum", repeated Steps 2 & 3 (using a 3rd or 4th server if necessary) until all updates are received. |

| 409819 | 2005-12-03 09:08:00 | Your reply crossed with my edit. I did what you (and the FAQ) suggested, and eventually found a download site that worked. :thumbs: | Tony (4941) | ||
| 409820 | 2005-12-03 09:08:00 | Bartsdadhomer is right, I had the 'bad checksum' message several times, now I automatically try another server from the drop down list. Marnie |

Marnie The one that always seems to work for me..is SAFER NETWORKING #1 EUROPE. It gets the downloads where the others seem to fail more. Maybe 'cause I'm closer to Europe that NZ is..or not! |

Maybe 'cause I'm closer to Europe that NZ is . . or not! Interesting Joe, that's the site that seems to cause problems down here, whereas site#2 always seems ok . |
