   Does this allow me to make it check whenever I want?

   How do I set it up?

   On a side note, is the fastest update time 40 minutes?
   Do you know how to make it update faster?

   Well here is my understanding of it:

   Feedwordpress goes through every 60 minutes and checks if there's an update to the blog.

   The cron job will actually pull from those marked blogs (in the 60 minute cycle) the posts that need to be aggregated.

   For example I have eh.. 500+ blogs that I syndicate. I keep the default at 60 minutes for feedwordpress polling for updates on blogs (this is mentioned in the documentation - it's best to leave that default).
   Every 10 minutes I have a cron job run to pull updates from those 'marked' by the 60 minute polling.

   I think there are other options, to pull updates on load or after load of the website which can be used instead of the cron job but you have to determine what is best for your site.

   I hope this answers your question proper. Please let me know if it doesn't.
