Hi Dan,
There is no problem going higher in that sense, the 65535 is a 16bit limit i.e. (2^16=65536).
The problem is/was with the database, the TTL column type is set to "smallint(5)" by default, changing this to int(11) fix's the problem. I'm now running a feed and checking ever 48 hours with no problems so far.
Obviously anyone reading this should understand what they are doing and note it is not recommended that you edit core files in this way, you also shouldn’t really be messing with the database. Next time you update vB it’s possible that the files will have changed and any edits you made could be lost, it’s also not the intended use for the product.
I'm going to turn this into a proper modification/plug-in, I will need it myself Dan and no doubt you and others would find it beneficial.
