The usual reason for "bad request" is that the server thinks the time is invalid. This can be because the PC clock is wrong, or (occasionally) because the PC timezone is wrong.

The calculated UTC in that update is 2014-07-19 19:47:21 and right now, that time is is still in the future (as I type it's 07:21 UTC on the 19th). So it looks like the PC timezone is wrong. There could be a bug in the Cumulus UTC calculation, but no-one has reported that before, and the code has been in use for a long time now.

ah ok so because its set to +10 that might be screwing it up.
ty will try

The PC is in Queensland, yes? So UTC+10 would be correct. But it looks like Windows is actually set to UTC-7 or UTC-8 as Cumulus is adding 7 or 8 hours to the local time.
