Comments on: is a decent caching rss aggregator for offline reading too much to ask for?

Try out RSS Bandit on Windows. I’ve not pushed it hard or been in testing mode when using it offline, but it appears promising.

The add-on for Firefox called Brief works great. It does not yet work on the 3.0 beta version of Firefox, which has messed me up on my upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04.

I use google reader, but the problem is it downloads all the feeds. If there is an option to mark selected feeds for offline access, i wuld stick to it. Right now out of the 2k items it downloads, a lot are one line news feeds that i wont want to read offline at all.

2 years on, i’m still looking for a good one that will cache content (pics and possibly even mp3’s e.t.c but that’s just kinda pushing it) offline.

Evan: If all you're looking for is an RSS reader, there's plenty of good desktop RSS readers that you can take offline. On Windows, you could check out FeedDemon and on the MacOS X, check out NetNewsWire. Both products are now owned by NewsGator.

same here… 9 months after the original post, and I still can’t find anything… anyone know anything that I might have missed?

I need a way to have news download to my UMPC in the am before I wake up so I can read news on the subway on the way to work.

Hey,
i am looking for a tool that serves the same purpose of reading the RSS feeds offline.

In case you come across one / build one please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
