AdwCleaner cloud update issue

[Steve1982]

Hi, I noticed that the AdwCleaner cloud update server(s) are frequently down/unavailable, especially over weekends. I confirmed the issue from multiple PC's in multiple networks so it's not a problem with my network. AdwCleaner then resorts to using the local copy of it's definitions which is the copy that comes with AdwCleaner when you download it, so it's severely out of date. Two suggestions:

1) Can someone please look into the reliability/availability of the AdwCleaner cloud update servers? 

2) Should the cloud update fail, it would be nice to have the option to use the definitions from the last good cloud update, as opposed to the original local copy.

Thanks!

Hello,

I don't see any issues server-side. What makes you think that the update server are unavailable? Can you share a method so that I can reproduce ?
