Hi Martin,

The update dialog has a link "Show available update sides" or something
similar. Here you find a button which can reload a update side. IIRC it is
called "Reload".

I suggest to use plugin spy to see how the button does this.

Let me know if you find the method call.

Best regards, Lars
