Re: [Fofredux-devel] update all broken

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

But that doesn't resolve the cron-job/background tasks. Hrm...

What about PHP firing off children threads/processes for the update?
We want to make sure and mark "bad" feeds and not have them update
again until the user addresses the issue?

Using the rand() means that some feeds may not get updated for a long
time, but the user may not notice.
