Their servers are notoriously slow. Try your updates at off hours. That was the one thing that kept me from Antivir but now I would rather put up with that than 70 MB of AVG 8 doing a Norton impression.
Make sure you do your manual updates at an ''odd'' time if you can Icedrake. You know when everybody else isn't.
The only time I have a problem is when there is a very big update and it's only fair that those who pay get them first I guess.
The server will change numbers if you look . ... dl7 freeav.net etc, as different ones are tried.
