       Andre,
I checked Arnold's site, but the link to the gzip extension is broken. I've mailed him about it and hope to hear from him soon.

       Bandwidth a problem?  Try gzip compression.

       Bloglines supports gzip compression, etags, and the Last-Modified header. We also only fetch a feed once per iteration, regardless of how many of our users have subscribed to it.

       bortaloo should also support gzip output now (and checks the last modified header).
comments welcome.

       SnowNews and Liferea (which reuses the SnowNews networking code) do support gzip compression and the last modified header.
