re: Update server
The instructions for changing the download server are in the following article (see #4):
- How to update the program to the newest version
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/update.html
Not contained in that article is the fact that you can select a server as the preferred download location and Spybot will select that server, if available, rather than a random server (see Note#1 below) for future updates.
Although I do not necessarily recommend that you set a preferred download location, here is how you can do that:
- After clicking "Search for updates" and the "No server selected" button (between the "Search for Updates" and "Download Updates" buttons) has changed to a list of available servers, select the server you want by using the pull down menu of servers and left clicking on the desired server.
- Then right click the button and select "Set this server as the preferred download location".
Note #1: Spybot-S&D 1.4 selects a random server. Spybot-S&D 1.3 selects the first server listed and that is why Bad Checksum errors were/are more prevalent with Spybot-S&D 1.3.
