Description Mark Coletti 2004-12-17 22:23:49 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)

Compiler:          g++ 3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

Some RSS feeds come from sites under a very high load, and so take a long time to respond, if at all.  akregator, when going through its fetch-all cycle, will stubbornly continue RSS feed updates on such feeds, thus holding up the entire cycle.  Its update attempts should timeout after so many seconds.  This probably should be a user-settable parameter.

We have a timeout for fetches now, set to 90 seconds atm.
