Can't update Ad aware

I'm having trouble updating Ad aware definitions, it gets stuck at 5% & then says, error downloading.
I've done a uninstall & reinstall but it still the same

Any help would be appreciated

    Not sure if it's actually much help with your problem but I have just updated the definitions and SE1R125 05.10.2006 has successfully downloaded and installed. I suppose that it proves that their server is working.

    ;)

    I updated all my security programs yesterday morning, and ad-aware downloaded and updated with no problems for me.

    Thanks for the 'heads up'. Tried updating my Ad-Aware I'm having the same stopping at 5% problem.

    Will try later.

    I just had the same problem half an hour ago (error at 5%), tried it a second time straight away and it updated fine.

    That used to always happen to me (countless times to be honest) - In the end I just waited about 20-30 mins. If that didn't work, then I would wait longer.

    For free, I wasn't complaining that much :)
