Alethea,

A few things:

- The RSS pheeds themselves don't constantly update. Therefore, ZZ could be "updating" them with the same old info.

- Use the "browse" feature on ZZ to see if you can FTP to your site.

- You said you are getting an error using IE to FTP. Sounds like a problem with your connection or (most likely) your host. Try a "real" FTP client and see if you can FTP. If not, the problem is with your host.

- Try FTPing to a "real" host that you know works instead of experimenting with a free host.

As I said before, there can be more than one problem. When there is more than one problem, it can greatly compound the issue, causing you to change things that were working.

In this case, if your host is at fault, and hosts often are, you will change things in ZZ, causing ZZ to have errors, when the initial problem may have been your host all along.

You have two indications the problem is with FTP: ZZ not uploading and IE reporting an error. Make sure your host will let you FTP before doing anything else.
