Check complete.

That explains why my google reader is being spammed

It seems to have settled on a schedule of hourly updates, which I find strange, as the projections just get more inaccurate as they day goes on.

I wanted to keep them, I did, but I had to unsubscribe as about half my feeds were IDNet bandwidth usage, and it was annoying me.

I am testing an updated version of the feed (v3) which works off our daily summary, this will prevent over eager feed readers getting swamped with hourly updates.

Thanks for the update, Martin.

As someone here pointed out to me recently, if you're using something like Brief you can set the frequency of updates for each different feed yourself. My IDNet feed is now set to daily and it works fine.

Good news, Martin. While I can restrict the feed updates locally, that would mean I would also lose access to service announcements, which defeats the object. If the new feed doesn't resolve the issue, would it be possible to separate the data into two feeds, usage and network status, so that we could set different update intervals locally?

[mchunt_idnet]

The feed should now only show daily figures and not the more frequent [normally hourly] radius updates.

It will still show the status notifications as and when they happen.

Great.
