I think, but cannot prove it, that WU may have changed their algorithms recently. I run wunderfixer at 12 noon and 12 midnight. Wunderfixer used to usuallu upload some missing records each time, but now it is uploading 100+ missing records each time. Something at their end has changed, and I think they are trying to move towards storing data at fewer intervals. Something has changed at their end.
