I have noted that sometimes when a fic is updated, in the first chapter doesn't show the actual nuber of chapters. But that happens when the url of the fic has the tittle.

Examples:
URL with the tittle:
Code:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3566724/1/The-Dark-Lords-of-Nerima
URL without the tittle:
Code:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3566724/1/
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3566724
If you're using browser cache to download from ff.net try visiting the first chapter without the tittle, and reload the page refreshing the cache with CTRL + F5 or CTRL + R

But if for some reason the first chapter of the fic isn't didn't have in the chapter list the latest chapter you can enable use this option in personal.ini:

Code:
[www.fanfiction.net]
## ffnet used to have a tendency to send out update notices in email
## before all their servers were showing the update on the first
## chapter.  It generates another server request and doesn't seem to
## be needed lately, so now default it to off.
check_next_chapter:true
