Under the "gear" button, I have "Documentation Set Updates" ->
"Install New Updates Automatically" and "Daily" both checked. Nothing
ever happens, even when clicking on "Check Now". Is there a way to
debug what is going wrong? Nothing shows up in the system/console logs.

Assuming nothing is wonky in your setup, if you have subscribed to
the feed and an update is available, you'll see an "Update" button
if there's a later doc set available. If you are subscribed and you
have automated updating turned on then updates should "just happen".
You can force a check using the gear menu in the lower left of the
doc window.
If you suspect something isn't working in the process, one way to
check is to use "Get Info" for the doc set to get the "Feed URL".
You can paste the URL into Safari and see the raw doc set entries,
which will include the version number. If you see a later version
there and you are subscribed to the feed but don't have an "Update"
button, then there's a problem.
As a general rule we do monthly updates, so if you haven't gotten an
update since May it's a pretty good bet you are not current, which
is certainly the case here from what you've listed. The current
version for both of these doc sets is 316.

Okay, for example:
- com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.CoreReference.docset, I have
version 305, dated May 13, 2008
- com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.DeveloperTools.docset, I have
version 311.0, dated May 23, 2008
How can I find out if these are the current doc sets?

You can Get Info on a doc set to get version info.
When you hit the "Check Now" button, the checking is done
asynchronously, so sometimes there is a bit of a delay before you
see results.

FWIW, if I select "Check now", it always comes back immediately
with "Checked for doc set updates". No indication if that was
successful or not. How do you even determine what version of the
docs you have?

Hi,
Is anyone having problems updating docsets? Each time I try to
update, for example, Core Library nothing happens whatsoever.
The progress indicator spins, 'Beginning Download' displays,
then '0 of 292 MB' displays, then.... nothing...
This affects all docsets for me. I've tried everything of
which I can think including direct connection of my machine to
the net sans router.
It would be very nice to be able to download the docsets as a
disk image, or if one could update from the ADC monthly mailing
DVD... That might have some mitigating effect on issues such as
that which I'm encountering...
Sincerely,
Dave
