I am NOT rewriting any code in 2.8.10.98, I just was trying to find out why the phexdownload.xml doesn't get updated anywhere near as often as it did in early version of Phex (one in particular that was faster was 2.0.0.76).

I don't know if Phex waits for idle time and then decides to update the file or not, I'm not a programmer. I am using 2.8.10.98 and won't update right now because of the Java compatibility issue.

If you could just give me some idea as to what I could do to ensure that the file would be written more often I would appreciate it. If possible...

Would stopping downloads or stopping text searches ensure that this file gets updated?
