Description Tro 2005-02-01 23:27:48 UTC

Version:           1.0_beta8 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Boing Boing usually have an image in their posts, which sometimes takes a while to load due to remote sites' slowness. It would be nice to preload images from a feed when it is fetched.

Making this optional (per-feed) would also rock.

This seems to complex (and error-prone) to implement for the given benefit. Also, it will generate uneccessary traffic in many cases (for both the user and the provider). Closing as wontfix.
