For a month or more now I've been having a huge problem with NewsFire. I subscribe to a fair number of RSS feeds so the likes of Safari's RSS reader aren't enough for me. NewsFire has worked for me for a long time but recently it has stopped downloading feeds when it is launched. Even when I tell it to refresh all the feeds it will only refresh a small portion of them. It doesn't appear to be a networking issue as I can get around the web just fine and access feeds in Safari without a hitch. I used to have NewsFire keep feeds around for a while but I've tried to cut that time down to two weeks thinking my massive number of feeds might have been creating caches that were too large. I've also tried deleting NewsFire's cache and that doesn't seem to help either. I've sent feedback but I haven't received any response (which I'm not surprised around in the slightest). Anyone else seen this issue and know how to fix it? I have a full license for NF and have it updated to the latest version.
Switching to Safari would be a huge step backwards for me. I've tried exporting my feeds as an OMPL file and importing them into Vienna but I don't like it's interface as much as NF. The same goes for NNW. I like NewsFire and want to keep using it but I'm going to have to abandon it if it doesn't work correctly.
