Ok, this might seem a little semi off topic,

I've updated the batch file i wrote for extracting all the roms GP32 mame needs, to version 1.1 to keep in line with the latest release of GP32 mame. But i've encountered a weird prob. I originally provided a download link to the file in a previous thread here :-

http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=17715

I noticed shortly after this that Franxis also provided a link to the thread from his site, so i intended to just keep the name the same with the new file and overwrite the file in my webspace so the links still work. However, after doing this and then testing the link in the thread i found that i seemed to be still downloading the old file, even though it had supposedly been overwritten. I then tried deleting the file from my webspace completely and then testing the link, and lo & behold, I'm *still* able to download the file. Whats going on, how can I download something from my webspace that isn't there?

I immediately suspected this to be a simple cache problem, but i've cleared my cache completely an its still there. maybe a prob with the free space from my ISP, or an ISP cache?

When i get this sorted then i can upload the new version of the Rom Copy batch file, anyone know whats going on? :)

Have you tried emptying your browser's cache ?

Yup, like i said that was one of the first things i tried, but it didn't seem to solve anything, oddly enough. Anyway i've just changed the filename and that sorted it. Wierdly enough though, the old version can still be downloaded, even though it doesn't actually appear to be in my webspace.
