Link widget doesn't update

For a long time I had the poppy link widget on my website, no problems at all. Today I decided to place the widget again, after an hour, 2000 unique visitors and at least 300 link referrers later the widget still hasn't updated. Any idea what's going on?

Addition: The widget does update when I regenerate the code for the widget in my admin panel, and add it again on my website, after that it freezes again.

Same here. It also a shame you can't style these widgets.
