Hmm, that's odd. I'm using the autoupdate to watch a craigslist category with no problems, and the manual update always worked. Two possibilties for your difficulty:

1. Maybe a server problem as you suspect. I think that servers can specify when a cache entry expires in the header they return ( and perhaps yours does not want to be bugged that often ) - although I thought that most browsers just ignore it. I know that uRSS refreshes properly from any craigslist feed, so you can try with craigslist.org and then "SFBay area", try "free stuff" in the "for sale" category anytime it's daylight here. It updates constantly and the server is cooperative, you should see changes every time it updates as people try to get rid of their unwanted junk. I'm guessing that it will work fine, so then you must contact the webmaster for whatever feed you're trying to monitor and have them set the expiration time to something a little shorter than 12hrs :) . probably just an oversight on someone's part....

2. Or...maybe it is your cache that is causing the problems, I have mine set to "Once per Session" and I'm using KM 1.02. I notice that it always checks for a new version of the feed, although judging by the amount of time it spends downloading, it seems smart enough to know if the file is still the same by the header info. I use dialup and I can see it refresh the file by the modem activity; if it changes, I also see it in the reader.

RSS feeds themselves sometimes have expiration times in them, but uRSS ignores them. so that's not your problem. Let me know how you fare...[/quote]
