I have tried both versions and get similar results, the latest "currency_update_curled.php: Permission denied"
I have asked my host if they can fix it and basically they say no. Only if I set up my own php.ini and I really dont have the guts for all that.

QUOTE The issue here is that, for security reasons, we have remote url access through fuctions like file disabled. UNQUOTE

Are there any other options (apart from moving host) ???
