NIS 2011 Keep failing to download the updates. Sometimes it work but very very slow. It seems like problem with the Norton servers because i can't load Symantec site/connect to Norton forum.(Or load very very slowly)
When I open live update window, it'll try to Search and download updates. This process take ages, sometimes it download couple of KB's and suddenly stop and say failed to update.![]()
Are you guys suffering from this issue?
BTW I'm from UK & all the other websites/ update programs work perfectly.

I just ran the live update and it's working just as good as before. No problems with the Norton server' or whatever, I guess..
Have you tried a manual update from their website? -
When I connect to the BT/O2/...Etc Networks it works fine.
Gonna call them to fix this or take a legal action if they can't. -
I'm having the same problem

just another victim. try all other b'band networks, you'll be fine. orange just slow you or block you.
