   Hi all,

   Do you use the fetch_rss()? If so, have you ever felt that it gives up fetching so fast? I mean the time limit. It doesn't fetch from web sites that are kind of slow to response.

   I tried to increase the number of the "define('MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT', 2);" to 10 but it doesn't help.

   Does anybody have a solution for this?

   i use the cache function, so no.

   but I believe that timeout is measured in seconds, in which case im not sure a jump from 2 to 10 is going to accomplish much.

   Well, I increased it to 60 seconds but it didn't work either. Is it possible that there are other factors causing to shutdown the fetching process?

   possibly.... are you using it twice (more than once)?

   If so, I experienced a problem where the second place I was using it wasnt working _at all_ and the only thing that tipped me off was that a comment inside plugin file happened to mention that two plugins using it at the same time might have trouble. (this is for version of magpie that comes w/ WP, btw)

   My solution was to install the stand alone version of magpie and use that for the second place I needed it (I basically depluginized a wp plugin)

   If all of this moot, and youre only using it once, I dont know. :(

   Yes. A lot. I guess more than 50 or so at once. :)

   Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it.
