You can read about it here: http://stut.net/2009/05/29/php-job-queue/. Set that type of system up and add a job for each feed, set to run every 15 minutes. You can then watch the server and tune the number of concurrent job processors so you get the optimum balance between load and speed. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
