Hi, i am also looking into this at the moment. What i found out so far is that this function is not a synchronisation. The feeds will get downloaded but if something gets removed from the feed it will not be deleted in your ref set.
Items from the ref set will get removed if they age out (time to live option) or they get removed by a rule action.
When you configure a feed QRadar will look for an entry that is added since the last poll or newer than the "poll initial Date" if this is the first time. This could explain the difference you see.
I also search for a solution for syncing the reference data. If anybody knows one please let us know.
Regards
Martin
