yes, yes, yes.

Pages I reloaded last night are now, 10 hours later, OK. Last night, they 
weren't showing 2 hours after loading onto the server.  Yet fresh pages 
show up almost instantly, and the amended pages show in Wsftp destination 
pane almost immediately. Viewing their html on the server confirms they are 
the new uploads.

So it doesn't seem to be a server problem.

In answer to H. Davis, I think the server is in Sydney--I am on Gold Coast, 
about 1000 km away. Slow copper perhaps?

YOUR own computer."

I keep an old Navigator (Firefox's fore-runner) for that purpose. The same 
latency shows in Navigator also.

"I'm using Maxthon myself, and whenever I update any of my websites I first
try it in Maxthon locally - then after I've done the upload, I call that
page repeatedly and amend it until it looks fine. There I NEED the latest
version each time, of course."

That's exactly my procedure. I close Maxthon, manually empty the cache, 
(incl online files), then re-open Maxthon.
But I still can't see the results of my misdemeanors until next day.
