Not at all - Dave is actually at least partially wrong here, and I'm
pretty sure I broke something. There were stil some issues before with
http pulls, but they have unfortunately been made quite a lot worse :)
I'll look at getting that sorted as soon a I can.

Basically, there used to be an update issue. But now that we do full
caching on the data, the fixes that are in there to work around the
previous issue, don't necessarily work anymore...
