The problem with once a week is what happens if you check on Monday at 8am
and the rules are updated on Monday at 8:05? You won't get any updates for 2
weeks. It would be really great to have something like a checksum that will
be available to see if there is a change in the rules file. 

actually there is an md5 file, and i was thinkin' about asking why VRT
changed its format without alerting users before.
personally, i download daily that md5 file and compare to the latest md5
i've got: if they don't match it means that there is something new.

but we're a bit OT here :)
