I tried using a file on RationalWiki, which uses InstantCommons. The file didn't exist (it was on en:wp, not Commons). I moved the file to Commons, but RationalWiki still thinks it doesn't exist in the foreign file repo. "?action=purge" does nothing. How long do I have to wait?
(The page is http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Color_therapy .)
RW is using 1.14.1. (Yes, we should upgrade. I'm not a sysadmin, just a user.)

InstantCommons[1] which is just a shortcut for ForeignFilesRepo[2] was introduced in 1.16.0[1] where as FFR has been around since 1.11.0[2]. Which means it would be manually configured since you mention 1.14.x, If the person used the default settings we show it should be set for 12 hours.
The example we show on wiki[3]:
$wgForeignFileRepos[] = array( 'class' => 'ForeignAPIRepo', 'name' => 'shared', 'apibase' => 'http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php', 'fetchDescription' => true, // Optional 'descriptionCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional (values are seconds) 'apiThumbCacheExpiry' => 43200, // 12 hours, optional, but required for local thumb caching );

Just after I made that post, the files showed up. Never mind me :-)
