So we (pardon all the we's and I's; there are two of us working on this) figured out what the problem was.

For some reason, PHPDig was not REALLY getting the MoodleSession out of the URI.

This caused the script to dig for a REALLY long time, not only with updating, but also with the initial index (1.5 hours for ~229 REAL file permutations; 11+ hours for the update).

I made a function called "adamize" that chops out the MoodleSession part of the URI altogether, so that PHPDig does not even know it exists. Ever.

I placed the function below at the bottom of the "robot_functions.php" page, and then made a reference to it at line 172 (in my file) in function phpdigRewriteUrl, under the "settype($eval,'string')" line:

PHP Code:


			
$eval = adamize($eval);

and for the bottom:

PHP Code:


			
function adamize($file)

{

//    Determines whether or not "MoodleSession" occurs within

//    a given filename (or actually a returned URI)

    if(strstr($file,"MoodleSession"))

    {

//    The position in which MoodleSession is found.

        $starts = strpos($file,"MoodleSession");



//    Because MooodleSession (for me) ALWAYS will occur at the

//    end of a URI, just get the beginning of the string until

//    the occurance of MoodleSession.

        $file = substr($file,0,$starts);



//    Get the last character of the new file string.

        $ends = substr($file,strlen($file)-1);

    

//    Figure out if the end of the string is a ? or a &.

//    If it is either one, just cut it out of the string.    

        if($ends == "?" || $ends == "&")

            $file = substr($file,0,strlen($file)-1);



//    Return the new "file" variable, with MoodleSession cut out.

        return $file;

    }



//    If the filename doesn't have Moodle Session inside it,

//    simply return the file variable as it was.

    else

        return $file;

}

If there any questions, post here.
