Solved the problem of being unable to spider any site, It was caused by an added value item that my ISP introduced.

We recognise that the use of your Internet connection can be a worry. While you're away from your PC others could be eating away at your bandwidth by using applications such as peer to peer (P2P) software or binary newsgroups. That's why we've introduced the Surf option, allowing you to control what your broadband connection can be used for.
You can take greater control over your broadband connection by activating the Surf option, found in the My Account section of the portal. This allows us, using active port monitoring, to restrict your access to bandwidth-hungry applications such as P2P and binary newsgroups.
If you occasionally want to use P2P or binary newsgroups you can simply come to the portal and deactivate Surf, then reactivate it again once you've finished. The portal is password protected, so there's no way that anyone else can turn Surf on and off - you're in control.
Activating Surf doesn't guarantee responsible use of your connection. We recommend that you continue to monitor your usage using the View My Usage tool.

I was able to spider a site without any problems, and search for words. Unfortunately this does not cure my problem of being unable to create the content file when updating my own site.
Looks like back to the drawing board again, possibly completely re-installing PHPDig. Does anyone know how to rejuvinate aging grey cells.
