Some users have reported they are not able to download updates. The
'Search for updates' reveals updates, but they cannot be downloaded.
Often a 'HTTP Error 403' or 'bad checksum' is displayed. This has a simple
reason - thousands of people trying to download from the default server, which
can't handle such a burden. If you try again, have a second look at the menu
bar. It has a pull-down item to select a mirror. Click the arrow beside it,
and select a different location, where you'll most probably have better
chances to download. (Spybot-S&D 1.2 will set a random mirror as the default
to better distribute the load)
Current problems with the main installer download have the same reason - the
servers not being able to handle such large amounts of visitors. Even the
University isn't able to deal with many thousands of downloads at the same time.
Please have some patience; more mirrors are being added again.
