It also appears either not all servers hold one of the needed update files, or some are overloaded on sessions are are managing to respond as such (and the program doesn't handle the response properly).

Maybe AVG could have informed us of the new update and even done something to release it to users in stages if that's possible.

I then did another manual update and it worked OK. Seems they are still having problems at AVG. It was also a slow process to do the update.

Automatic virus database update failed for me yesterday. Manual update was successful, but slow. Thought it was my connection playing up so didn't bother trying to do the program update until this morning (6:30), which worked fine.
I don't know if the program update will make AVG work better, but since upgrading to version 8.0 I have seen a slow down of the startup/logon process, so I am now looking to change to Avast, following comments/recommendations in another thread. If it's any better I might even try persuading my mother-in-law to ditch Norton!

Go to http://free.avg.com/ww.download-update
and "download all of the files listed there for version 8. Then run the "Update from directory" option. You will have to re-run the update once for each file (each run of the "Update from file" will only update one file at a time) If I remember there were four files as of today's date."
From one of the threads on AVG's Free Forum,
http://freeforum.avg.com/read.php?12,145390,backpage=,sv=
There appears to be a massive problem with too many large downloads, servers appear to be well and truely overloaded
