how long should it take savupdate to update sophos anti-virus for linux, as it seems to be taking a very long time to update (at least 30mins now)??

It has finally finished, should it take that long?

Hi James

Was this the first update after install?

It can often take a long while to update itself with all the cumulative updates since installation - do subsequent updates take as long?
