Updating Spybot

[hunyak]

I seem to have trouble downloading updates to Spybot S&D 1.2. It
succesfully
searches and finds that there are new updates but when I try to download the
updates
it hangs and doesn't retrieve them. I still end up with the red circle with
the slash through
it denoting that the updates were not downloaded or installed. Any ideas on
what I may
be doing wrong?

I had this as well. Underneath the 'Search for Updates' bit you can choose
a different mirror to download the updates from, and choosing a European one
over an Aussie one fixed it for me.

Choosing an Aussie one over a European one fixed it for me!

DUH! Forgot to choose ANY mirror. The rootboxen one works just fine.
Thanks.
