RSS Bandit Feed Errors

RSS Bandit has been our chosen news aggregator for some time now. The last few production releases of the application have been causing problems with pulling content from Craig Murphy’s Blog. His blog feed was the only one from dozens of feeds that had a reproduceable problem!

After some research it would appear that WordPress did indeed have issues up to and including v1.5.1.2. His recent upgrade to run v1.5.1.3 should have fixed this particular problem unless some files from the buggy versions are still being retained and used!

However, RSS Bandit does seem like it has had a part to play in this issue! A solution to the problem can be found HERE.

Basically, the solution is:

• Download the v1.3.0.31 from CVS
• Delete the cache files, which can be found in your profile application data folder
  e.g. “C:\Documents and Settings\(windows account name)\Application Data\RssBandit\Cache
• Copy the files in the v1.3.0.31 zipped archive into the RSS Bandit install directory
  e.g. “C:\Program Files\RssBandit”

Hope this helps other RSS Bandit users who are having connection timeout and closed problems.

UPDATE
Problem has returned and only on Craig Murphy’s Blog!
