No Refreshing

[bobroper]

Some months ago I asked a question as to why a particular website does not refresh. The site in question is:

http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?display=discussion&code=cotn:GKP.L

The best time to test this site is say after 2pm when the site is busy.

I have cleared the cache, deleted temporary files, etc, etc. but to no avail.

Unfortunately, I did not get a solution from any of you.

Every time I use this site, I have to change my ISP to the UK and have no problems atall in refreshing the page.

Recently, I used my friend's PC at a different location and she too had the same problem.

We are both with True.

I believe it is something simple, but what is it?

Any expert advice would be appreciated.

Ive had this issue before with one of my computer shops. It could also be a flash issue, do you have both chrome and Firefox installed?

Chrome has flash built in, where Firefox doesn't and installing flash twice can cause issues.

Also get a LSO cookie remover, as they remove the flash cookies.

Might want to flush your dns too. Google How to flush my dns

The reason are different kind of cache technologies, installed on the ISP.

They do that to save traffic outside the network of the company, for example, 1000 people are try to looking the same video on a popular webpage this should produce a hevy traffic and expensive for the ISP if this is a international connenction, plus users with bad connection speed etc.

ISP companies use the different cache systems to solve this problems, one of the worst that I know is the transparent proxy, that the ISP catch all the popular request and send it to an cache server, and sometiems for server load or another server problems the cache on the server is not updated correctly.

Easy to complex.

1.- Delete your cache browser

On firefox, press Crtl + Shift + Delete and check that "Everything" is selected in the time range, and that the cache checkbox it's checked.

2.- Add a random variable to the URL

Add a "&" followed by a random number (or a "?" if the url don't have "?" yet) this will forcing get the new content but isn't 100% effective

Example: http://www.iii.co.uk...tn:GKP.L

3.- Use Proxy, VPN, Remote Connection, SSH Tunel, etc

This is more complicated and need a previous knowlodge, but the most easy solution that I know it's TOR Browser.

Go to https://www.torproje...ad-easy.html.en and download the Tor Browser Bundle (Mac, Linux, Windows) install it or uncompress it and run it and you are done very easy to use.

For the LSO or flash cookies

I use this script that may work in all version of windows

DEL /F /Q /S %APPDATA%\Macromedia\*.*

RMDIR %APPDATA%"\Macromedia\Flash Player" /s /q

clean flash cookies.txt

for use it, change the extension to .bat
