Issues with script updates not applying in dynamic downloads

[jerry554]

Hi everyone,

I'm managing a project where users can download and run dynamic scripts, and I've been noticing a recurring problem. When the scripts are updated, some users still seem to get the old version, even though the latest files are uploaded correctly.

It seems like a caching or execution issue, especially with setups using delta to handle the runtime. This creates confusion because users think the download isn't working, or that the script itself is broken.

Has anyone here run into similar issues with dynamic script downloads in jDownloads? Is there a best practice for ensuring that updated scripts are served reliably without forcing users to manually clear caches?

Would love to hear how others handle this kind of scenario.

Hi
Many servers use caching so it might be that a user needs to clear there own cache.  Also Joomla maybe setup to use caching. jD has its own cache which is typically set at 93 days as it is used for the User Groups Limits functions.  See article:
