Seriously Boys, what does a 404 tell some HTTP-Client?  Right, it aint there.  So why retrying every freaking minute for... just like... months?  

Please, in the name of Lee, if something 404s make the user re-enable the feed manually rather than trying aeons hitting an error which wont change because you hit the webserver stoicly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
look at your webserver log

Actual Results:  
it still did it :(

Expected Results:  
IT SHOULD STOP, GODDAMIT!

I wonder where the "annoying" severity is.  Gah, ill leave it at normal, but you know why i might find it annoying.

On a sidenote, this is the worst bugtracker i ever met.  Seems Userfriendlyness isnt its plus-side.

You can configure the feed fetch interval (even for each feed separately).

Seriously? What HTTP Header do i need to send to set it?

I don't think it will help with the akregator issue, but if the feed is permanently gone and won't be coming back, you should be returning 410, not 404.
