I clicked on it to reenter it to see what is going on, but this gave an extra entry on the Main Newspapers listing saying just "iNewstand Error" with a X close button and an empty window. The green LED is still flickering like mad, so I assume it is busy getting my stuff, but I don't understand why i can't see how it is doing.
Should the downloads be visible on the Newspapers listing (that's where I put iNewsStand), or in mobipockets folder?
Anyway I've left it with the green LED still flickering away. Not sure how long to leave it before getting worried.
[EDIT]
Ah, it looks like it might just have been waiting for me to click the X to get rid of the Error window. When I did that it went quiescent again, so I re-ran the iNewsStand. I selected only the two News feeds in Mobi format and "Sync!", and I now see both listed in the Downloads tab, one "Downloading 0%" the other "Waiting ...". I don't know how to tell whether anything is actually happening. The geed LED is just off as is the wireless icon bottom right.
[FURTHER EDIT]
The display is static at "Downloading 0%" and 2Waiting ..." until I clikc "Refresh". Then they both go to "Downloaded". So I think, "good", and clikc Exit.
The BBC file is now there, but it doesn't show in the list till I press "News" again. I haven't yet found the iLiad reader news feed ...

The default option is to download those RSS feeds to the news folder although you can change this behavior in an XML file (we use the iLiad default settings).
