Hi Matthew,

At 13:15hr (GMT+1) it did run OK, so that is resolved.

Are your remote ICS files from Google Calendar? If so I would be much obliged 
if you could tell me who this is done. I only need read-only access (writing 
also would be better of course). 

Als if I understand you correctly, kontact (or korganizer) will not reread the 
file I download until I reload it manually. So it does not make sense what I 
am doing.

Tx for your help/Alain
