So... I don't quite understand-- It says your site is hosted at NorthStar, which
is in Chicago, yes? Are you scanning Lego's site from that server, or from a
machine in Australia? Other question I guess would be how often do you poll?
Of curiosity, I tried downloading set 7133 via your site and via Lego's site,
and got two different URL's:
From your site:
http://assets.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4177480.pdf
From Lego:
http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/7133-1.pdf
If you're polling in Australia, but hosting in Chicago, the other way around the
problem is to actually load the PDF file from Lego on the US server, then
connect to that directly from your PC. It just has the potential to create a lot
more traffic on your server :)
