update downloading problem

[Charles Horton]

I have not been able to successfully download a Spybot update for about the past 2 months. After what seems to be a very long wait for downloading, the update listed to be downloaded (where the checkbox is on the left) says "bad checksum!, which I assume means the download was not successful. The last time this happend was for the 01-20-06 update. Help!

"Bad Checksum" does mean "... the download was not successful".

"Bad Checksum" problems are usually caused by overloaded download servers.

To change download servers and for a workaround for "Bad Checksum" errors please see:

Note: The download server can be changed after the "Search for Updates" and before clicking "Download Updates". So if you find a server that works well, you can start by using that server in the future. Also note that if you want (not necessarily recommended) you can select a server and then right click on the button and "Set this server as the preferred download location". If you do that Spybot will select that sever rather than a random server for future updates.
