      Updating the rules took like 9 hours 1st attempt, 2nd attempt was 7 hours and 3rd attempt to 3rd box is worst 11.5 more or less :( (speed 2mb up/dl). But at least it works now. Thanks :)

        That's odd. I have 2 boxes and a 15/2 connection and can download and extract in under 10 minutes usually.

          The downloading of rules should only take at most 5 min, there's something wrong.

          Questions ?

          What version of snort package are you using (snort or snort-dev) ?

          What are you system spec's ?

          Are you using traffic shaper ?

            Mine downloads in under 1-2 minutes….and I generally hit Save after that....so many 5 minutes or so or less. I just threw out 10 minutes because the OP said his took hours....Basically, I don't have a problem.

            Oh, Nice work BTW.....

            Ok to answer you question...2 machines:

            C3 via 600MHZ 1 gig ram Snort DEV traffic shaping yes
            Semprom 3800 2 gig ram Snort DEV traffic shaping yes
