Clamwin Portable Database update

Hi, I just installed on my memory stick, and ran Clamwin. It asked to update the virus datatabse, however, the update failed.
Is there a specific way to update the portable ClamWin database? Here's the failure pasted below...
Regards,
Kevin

That usually means the ClamWin update servers are temporarily offline. Or you're being blocked (possibly by a proxy or corporate firewall). Just try again a bit later.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
