I was browsing a version history of a favourite newsreader of mine when I came across a rather interesting fix. Just thought it was funny that these guys (an international software company) made a fix for the problems that we (and we alone) have with our "crappy" IS server 
The version number in question and quote is listed below (note the last line) and the link to the page is below that.
"0.24.9
+ autopush RSS Timer button (setup->Misc) (default off)
+ RSS tree is now saved on exit
+ option to toggle 'delete rar files after unraring' via popup menu @ Download queue
* fix for some crappy .za IS server"
