How much closer could be watched? that response was lightning fast :)

Out of curiousity why update via a push from sourceforge over a pull from your 
side. I'm assuming that its either something to do with efficiency i.e. trying 
to reduce the number of syncronisation checks, but I'd be interested in knowing 
just what the benifits if any of doing it that way are.
