This caching feature required different cache organization and as a side
effect it brought faster loading of feeds, which is very nice :)

It is the reason, why I give 1.4.0.X for public testing.

I have find out the following. If the message is cached ('Link to the
article' at the bottom is in bold) the article is opened ok. But if I
try to open an article that is not cached, pRSSreader behaves like you
reported -> it is a bug.

Not yet implemented.

It is bug.

After feed update, pRSSreader is caching images, html and enclosures. My
plan is to have a manageable download queue, where you can cancel items,
reorder them, etc. For know it shows "jmeno souboru" (means file name)
and the number of items that remain to download.

I guess that "invalid feed file" error is in this case caused by
unstable internet connection...
Anyway, more detailed errors are planned.

I will see what I can do with it. I like this idea.
