Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / October 2006RSS news
I am currently running a Mac and NetNewsWire 2.01 Going through my feeds it takes time to download the pictures as I go through. Is there a program that allows me to download my feeds and all the pics so I can read it offline?

With RSS, you're not physically downloading items onto your computer. You are just viewing a "link to an item," for lack of better wording. The item exists as an RSS feed (XML file), on the web. Therefore, unless you're connected to the internet, I don't think you can view feeds locally. Perhaps there is a way to "hide" pictures attached in feeds, through NetNewWire? I've never used it, so I don't know. > > I am currently running a Mac and NetNewsWire 2.01 > > Going through my feeds it takes time to download the pictures as I go [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > computer.

RSS feeds can and are typically downloaded by the reader, and can be viewed while offline. The RSS "feed" is just an XML file, after all. Links to full articles obviously don't work when offline. Really there's no reason an RSS reader couldn't work as Jason describes, but I don't know if any of them actually do it this way.

I've never used it, so I don't know. It's done by editing the CSS file for your chosen style.

Netnewswire does this more or less: Preferences > Downloading > Enclosures. Unfortunatelly, Photocasts from Flickr.com are not downloaded. SignatureSZ |
