For any one who like me was getting increasingly annoyed with the time delay of AWstats I was pointed to a blog article which tells you how to manually upload the stats when you wish. Fantastic!

1.) Login to your cPanel
2.) Go to File Manager
3.) Go to tmp>awstats
4.) Find youdomainname.ext.conf & click on it.
5.) Click on edit & find
“Allow Update of Stats from Browser”
6.) Set it to “1″
7.) Save the file.

Stats when you want them, can’t get better than that.
