I'm not seeing whats described here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/archiv...02/523444.aspx
namely:

Archive – This is the number of feed items that IE7 keeps for a feed. When
you’ve hit the max capacity for a feed, IE7 removes the older items to
accommodate the new items.

Instead the feed ceases to update when the max capacity entered in the
properties window is reached, and thereafter, in fact, it fails to update
even though the value in the properties window is increased. How do I clear
the cache, or archive, or indicate that the oldest items should be cleared as
new ones are posted? Am I just misunderstanding how the feed is supposed to
function?

RSS feeds may not be updated in Internet Explorer 7:

(is my reply redundant? I'd lost a connection ...)
Thanks for that: this is Vista Home Premium ver.6 (build 6000); I don't
think the frequency is any issue. It had worked (excellenty) until the
default 200 post limit had been filled from
http://www.youtube.com/rss/global/recently_added.rss. Thereafter, it failed
to update, although my understanding had been that the oldest posts would be
cleared as new ones were posted. Increasing the number of posts to archive
would not avail: the other feeds, including MSN, are still below quota, and
update fine.
