I downloaded the sample JSON feed produced by jimgreer in the programming forum a few weeks ago, and have not made any edits to it. Now, I checked it again, and it has changed. And when I retrieve it with code, its somehow changes as well. I will post the first entry from each one.
One downloaded a few weeks ago

The one I downloaded recently
[{"description":"Get 500 kills with headshots during a single game
","games":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.kongregate.com\/games\/ConArtis

And the one my code retrieves(sometimes)
[{"description":"Get 500 kills with headshots during a single game

:1},{"
Notice the position of “difficulty” and “id”. In all three they are different
Possible server inconsistency?
