Annoying thing with RSS readers is when a website implements some sort of "security feature", RSS reader might not be able to download any feeds. I had one occurrence where feed reader was asked to complete a captcha to reach content. Being a "bot" it of course failed. Another time one website was blocking all traffic from abroad, so RSS reader just got access errors, as server is located in another country.
