Turadj, I've seen that problem myself occasionally, though I generally don't have a problem with Google Calendar getting the ics file. I'm not sure what the problem may be, but I know that it is not always a problem. I'm serving up ics files dynamically, albeit with lots of memcache going on ( http://www.mashical.com/)
