Started out finding an AVPfile on the desktop indicating Internet Updater didn't download the last update right. So I ran Updater. Its been running for a hour now (normal is 20 sec.) , downloading the same vdfh.zip (1867 Kbtye) file from various servers , sometimes the same one, example: http://dl2.avgate.net ; ...dl6.avgate.net ; ...dl4.avgate.net , and it continues.
I read the post about a long download in the works, but this is becoming suspicuos , I'm thinking I'm one of many flooding the AVPE servers ...
Any advice before I pull the plug ?

Hi Rocketmech!

Welcome to CastleCops!

Update manually. Try again later. Wait for the next update. Wink

AVPE servers have been known to be notoriously slow and erratic with updates. Patience.

I found the best and quickest time to update was after 17:00 or 5 PM German time. Laughing


Best regards
