This is generally good for ISP and customer, but if customer, in this case you and me, wants the latest version of a file but the proxy can't be bothered checking if a new version is available so just gives you the old one, so loadguide doesn't bother dling it as it hasn't changed.
This is easily fixed however. Change your loadguide.conf, the last line is:
WGET="wget -t 5 -nv -nd -S -Na /var/log/wget.log"
Add a "-C off"(case matters) so its:
WGET="wget -C off -t 5 -nv -nd -S -Na /var/log/wget.log"
Then the ISP proxy server will be put in its place, letting loadguide always check the latest version from the web server.
