Had the same problem--try going to Grisoft's Web site and downloading it
manually. It goes in your Updates folder.
 
I'm been trying that to the first update saids server can't be found I'm
still trying though
 
Should have added that I used www.grisoft.com/akm/softw/60/xx to update

As do I. And when I went to update this morning it said I was up to
date. This morning I get the failure message (user initiaed...!) even
tho I have rarely to never had much problem with the auto update.
SOMEthing seems funky (I tried all 3 addresses in the modified .ini file
and the one dfrog suggested...it does indeed come up 'forbidden area'.

Have no answer for the 'forbidden area' thingy. I picked the akamai site
info from this newsgroup a few days ago and have since used it for the last
few updates, all successful.
Maybe the sun shines on me (just for a change :) )

Hope your updating becomes successful too

Thanks I am sure it will, in time. Usually I have no prob whatsoever,
so I expect it's a minor glitch. And I can always download it manually
if it gets to be too long.

Cheers.

TINY & Mister Charlie,
I haven't been totally helpful.
I just tried that akamai site and got the same 'forbidden area' thingy.
What I should have said is that I added to the url.ini file within AVG, as
follows:-

[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com
4=akamai_grisoft

[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe
4=http://www.grisoft.com/akm/softw/60/xx/
Actual URL=4

and use the number 4 site, ie the akamai one.

Having changed the url.ini file, one must shutdown and reboot for the change
to take effect in AVG. (this is something I have seen to be missing from
some previous posts)
Instead of just the one site 'free.grisoft.cz' you will have 4 to choose
from. Approaching the akamai site that way works for me and so should for
you.

I hope I've done a proper job for you this time

dfrog
 
Thanks,
That did it.

I went in there and deleted the old one and copy and pasted the one you have
save it close everything and rebooted and try 4 times so far and where the
drop down list is to update is blank what did I do wrong.

Thanks...I'll try that (I already had the other addys in there...)
 
TINY,

What you state you did should have worked, ie: there should have been 4
choices in the dropdown list, because you altered the url.ini file to make
it so.
It worked for Roy Colson (part of this thread)
Can I ask you to check your url.ini file in AVG to ensure the 'Server Names
& Server URLs' are still in there?
If they are, and you still get nothing in the dropdown list, I need to ask
the group for someone else to help us sort the problem for you.
Please post back.

Hi,
Guess a human error was involved!

The "exactly_as_named".bin files <=> update files listed were not found in
the proper "child-folders" on the serverS.
The situation was tended to at least for AVG "6" "free" and "pro" at
grisoft."cz".
I did not try the other servers.
All 4 incremential ( needing at least v.6.0.516 to 642) are back on.
