I have routinely had issues where the CSS will not be updated after I FTP it. It does not get utilized for about 10-15 minutes! This is extremely frustrating, especially before you figure out that it's happening again because you think your changes are not working. Then you do something to rule it out, like change the color of one of your styles and see that it has no affect until you go eat lunch and the come back and finally your text is blue or whatever you did! I had a similar issue where iPowerweb was not serving up the current .js file that I had changed. The HTML pages always available right away, but the files they reference are often delayed. This is a big problem for a developer.
