Where is the database with subscribed feeds located? I can't find it, neither in home-dir, nor in GConf. Perhaps that might shed some light.

The database is located here: /home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db

The programs currently accessing that file:

RM696-40-4_PR_005:~# lsof +c 15 /home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db|awk '{print $1}'
COMMAND
feedengine
tracker-store
tracker-store
tracker-store
contactsd
call-history
commhistoryd
messaging-ui
tracker-miner-f
smartsearch
tracker-writeba
contacts
camera-ui
feedreader

Last, but not least:

RM696-40-4_PR_005:~# sqlite3 /home/user/.cache/tracker/meta.db
SQLite version 3.7.7 2011-06-23 19:49:22

Btw the fille is over 70mb. I Have tried to export/re-import it (which shrank the size to 20Mb after throwing out a lot of invalid entries); unfortunately, couldn't figure out how to get the new DB working, since some of the processes accessing the file cannot be killed without immediately respawning.

It says that it didn't kill any such process. ...
And the download continues.

Are you still experiencing this bug after the PR 1.2 update? To me it seems to be fixed. I haven't had it since I updated.

Also this bugzilla shows that people are not affected with the problem anymore.

I Don't ever auto update...but does anyone else encounter this: sometimes if I chose a feed it very briefly shows me the list, then goes back to the main list. I Can do this 3-4 times and then the program stops working altogether--have to restart.

I had it before, more or less randomly.

Since PR 1.2, it never stops. There's always something it tries to download. Reboots dont help.

Crap.....
It would be appreciated if you could add your feedback in that report.
T'was looking good in that report...

Before I comment on that bug report, I'll try to to gather some more information. What I did now is to switch off anything that fills the feed screen... I'll add feeds and notification back one by one and try to find out if I can identify one that reliably makes this happen.

What's funny is that, although there's only 9 feeds I have subscribed to, the status message indicates that the N9 is trying to download a feed #17 or #18. Doesn't feel right. (Or would that be the 17th item from a feed?)
Also, when I open the RSS application itself, there's no feed that shows any download activity. Manually updating all feeds works fine, is done within a few seconds and doesn't change the status of the "frozen" feed in the status bar at all.

I seem to have this problem again. I had it with PR1.1 but it disappeared after PR1.2 It was fine until this morning then suddenly it wont stop updating again.

Mine still works fine after it fixed itself
