Has anybody else had the problem that when
they request an update, they get a message
saying that it can't open the update list?<P>Cause I have. All day today.<P>I've e-mailed Nate about it, but I know he's
busy. So I was wondering if anyone had this
error, and whatever happened.<P>------------------

Of course this conversation would make a lot more sense if we knew which timezone each person is in.<P>I found it to be working at 2200 GMT (tues), which for me is 10am (weds).<P>------------------

I got that last night, and I'm still getting it tonight. I'm set for 8:00 PST update time.

Well...aparantly my site is auto-updating at the scheduled time it's supposed to, as some changes I made in my dropdown.txt file are now online. BUT, I still can't manually update from the site matienince page. Hopefully this means some problems are being fixed, and in a day or so everything will be functioning again.<P>------------------
