Evan,
naw, hourly is just fine.
we update "sought ruleset" at the same time.
i spose i could change it, yet spam is not a once a day thing.
spam is all day every day, so hourly is the least i want to see things
updated.
But you're not seeing things updated hourly.
Seriously - look at the times you update, and see if over the past
say month, do you REALLY see anything updated 24 times in a day? Likely not.
Look at when you see updates, and go with that.
Think of it like this - if I know the mailman generally comes at
2:30, but sometimes (once every few weeks) comes at 11:00 AM, am I
going to go out to the mailbox every day at 11:00, or 2:30? I'll go
at 2:30. And if say I go once at 11:00, and then he's not there, do I
go again at 12? Then 1? No.
sometimes i think it would be nice if we had a *come get* or "push" trigger
on the serving side for some types of update "flags"...
Probably not going to happen for the reason of overloading servers -
which is also why they ask you to check once a day - so the servers
aren't overloaded.
Checking once an hour is obscene.
