Hi David,

Every now and then my site will either crash or crawl so it is unusable.

Most of the time I have put it down to a server blip but I've just had one again and actually called my host and got them to diagnose it while I was on the phone.

They have emailed me with the following error:

Our systems admin has had a look at your site and found that it is requesting some xml from

http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news.xml which is responding very slowly, it’s not a load problem with our servers.



poll([{fd=7, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=7, revents=POLLOUT}])

sendto(7, "`\224\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\3www\20typicallyspanis" ..., 42, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 42

poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 5000 <unfinished ...>



You will need to take a look at the code and change that if you want it to run quicker.

Does this mean anything to you? and if it is a problem retrieving a xml feed from a down or slow site is there any code within the plugin to timeout and forget about it until the next scheduled time it checks the feed?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as ever.
