However, so days there are no changes. Since you intend to perform these updates on a regular basis, you might consider using the CTM distribution instead. By subscribing to this distribution, you will receive an e-mail update each day that there are any changes. This reduces the load on the demand servers and allows you to stay up-to-date without worrying whether or not there was an update any given day.
