Check these settings for each feed:
- Check Feed Every... (I think default is 30 minutes)
- Maximum Items to Fetch (set to a reasonable number like 5 and see if that helps) Any items above this number found in the feed will be ignored.

Hi Lynne, thank you for you reply.

I tried
- check feed every 4, 6, 8 hours (it didn't help.
- maxium items to fetch (currenty 1),

but this also won't fix my problem. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

With it set to check the feed every 4 hours and only fetch 1 item, what is happening? You are getting a ton of items? When you go to edit the feed and hit Preview Feed, how many items are listed there?

Strange, i didn't change anything and now i won't get a flood (with preview feed).

Let's hope it stays this way, anyway thanks Lynne.
