Taking forever to load up newest weather information when freshly connected onto the net

[Gias Kay Lee]

Weather Report 2.24.1

Whenever the computer establishes a new internet connection, Weather Report attempts to auto-update for the newest weather status, but the update seems to take forever, literally stuck. I always have to right-click → Update to manually get the auto-update done. The "automatically update every: xx minutes" function seems to be working well, though.

I seem to have same problem with weather report integrated into calendar on Ubuntu Karmic. It fails to fetch new data after I bring my laptop back from suspend. I just got notification today, that it failed to fetch new data because of connectivity issue.
After I bring my laptop back from suspend, it's always takes a while to connect to network, then there are sometimes issues with my router connection to the internet.
It seems that when applet fails to fetch new data, it doesn't try again neither in half an hour nor a day. Biggest problem of that integrated weather applet is that it can't be manually refreshed, like the standalone and I'm stuck with old weather data for days, since I rarely reboot my laptop entirely recently.

Weather Report 2.30.0/Ubuntu 10.10

My experience with the weather applet and automatic updates, combined with suspend/resume, is altogether bad: almost every time after resuming from suspend the applet will be stuck updating, and I have to update manually. The worst thing is that the icon does not give a clue about the data being stale, so I guess many people don't see how bad it really is.
