All, I got a kick out of this, and some of you may too. To try and troubleshoot the problem I'm having with RSS newsfeeds hanging in Thunderbird 128.3.3esr, I launched akregator to try the feeds there and see if there was any difference in behavior. Launching akregator, the default feeds were from the time Novell owned openSUSE: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/4cf4bf12d2f1 I should have got a shot before I deleted all the other Novell feeds and Planet SUSE feeds. It was a blast from the past. Akregator has no problem hanging, and handles the feeds just fine. Wireshark shows nothing odd when checking in Thunderbird, but the last transmission from the hanging feed is an ACK - why that causes a hang is still beyond me. Enjoy the trip down memory lane. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
