Since July 8th I cannot guarantee, that all people (including me!)
see the newest updates, sometimes there is access to the newest
files and sometimes all falls back to the status quo of July 8th.
They say they are working on the problem.
Meanwhile I tried also to close RWBC for a while for other reasons,
but because of the above problem this did not work too.

The problem is that your hostname is resolving to two different IPs and the two machines with those ips are not in sync. If you pick the wrong one, you get the old version.
Currently, writing 80.150.6.141 instead of the home.t-online.de bit will take you to the new version, while 80.150.6.144 will take you to the old one.

Thanks for the information Alejandro.
I saw the same reason given now in my providers service forum.
(one of two servers which is randomly choosen has a malfunction)
