    Same two links, over and over....

    I'm running the ASP version of coop, have the server refresh set to every four minutes.

    My other sites running coop seem to be fine.

    Anyone else seeing soemthing strange?

    I would suspect something wrong with the ASP code you are using. I checked the ad network server, and it's serving random ads as it's supposed to.

    Copied the asp file from a site that is working, deleted the ad_network.txt and it repopulates with teh same two ads over and over.

    I still think it's gotta be something on your end... like a caching mechanism your server goes through or something. I checked the logs, and that would make sense from what I see, because I see very few requests from your server requesting new ads, and using two different URLS (which would give two different ads on a caching setup)...

    Another weird thing is it's showing a normal end-user user agent on some requests until the most recent ones...

    Code (markup):
    As you can see from the logs, the bytes sent is different for each request, so it doesn't look like it's serving the same ad from this end.

    Must be a server setting.....

    The ones that are still are on a server I host myself.

    I was tinkering with the PHP workaround for ASP, that might explain some of the oddities.

    I had altered the code to make a new ad request every 30 seconds instead of every 5.....
