Weather Underground Upload Times Wrong

Could anyone inform me as to why I am uploading to Weather Underground every 5 minutes whereas I have set Cumulus to upload every 30 minutes?

Presumably because those are 'catch up' entries from your logger, just after you've started Cumulus? It doesn't try to match the 'catch up' upload intervals with your 'live' interval, it just uploads each logger entry. It's not realistic to expect it do anything else, there are just too many variables to take into account.

Actually, you still seem to be uploading at 5-minute intervals...

No Steve it has been running all of the time, but I stopped uploading to some of these things whilst I had the ftp problem, I did upgrade to the latest version of Cumulus this morning so it has been rebooted.

I had this problem last week Steve and I thought that by not uploading to W.U for a few days may solve the issue

Oh, hold on, you're using 'rapid fire', so you're not uploading every 30 minutes at all, you're uploading every 5 seconds.

Oh, thanks Steve did not realise that the Rapid Fire over rode the main settings, I thought R.F was a separate part another senile moment of mine, sorry to have bothered you :D and thanks again.
