Later, after freeing some space and restarting NNW, I found that some of my feeds are missing data.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's understandable that new items on a feed would be lost, since there was no place to write them.  That existing data was lost, though, is *not* understandable.  It looks like this stuff is stored as XML with one file per feed.  Why would the old version of a file be deleted before verifying that a new version had been successfully written?  Why not store feed data in an SQLite database or something similar so that updates can be performed atomically?</description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Aug 2006 15:53:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>pmocek</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
