Fetch News feature - several problems

Hi,

First post here: I own a Kindle DX outside US. Without calibre it would almost be non usable. Thanks. Great app. Especially the fetch feeds feature is remarkable.

I heavily rely on the fetch news feature. I encounter several problems however:

(1) - I have about ten sources to be put in one mobi file. The fetch loads all feeds - I can see this in my netwotk log - but only five sources show up in the finished mobi file on my Kindle DX. I tried to change the feed order, take some out without any luck. Just the five first feeds show up in the mobi file.

(2) - with b12 the same feedlist - working before - fails to fetch and build to mobi. There is a very long error list and I'm not quite sure where the important part is to find. The last lines are:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Applications/Werkzeuge/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages.zip/calibre/utils/ipc/worker.py", line 90, in main
File "calibre/gui2/convert/gui_conversion.pyo", line 17, in gui_convert
File "calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.pyo", line 644, in run
File "calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.pyo", line 748, in create_oebbook
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/reader.pyo", line 73, in __call__
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/reader.pyo", line 584, in _all_from_opf
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/reader.pyo", line 244, in _manifest_from_opf
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/reader.pyo", line 177, in _manifest_add_missing
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/base.pyo", line 935, in fget
File "calibre/ebooks/oeb/base.pyo", line 863, in _parse_xhtml
IndexError: list index out of range

(3) - Building the final mobi file itself usually takes quite some time - about 72 Minutes in my case on MBA 2Rev 1,86 GHz. I understand there is a lot of parsing to do in the background. Still is there hope to speed up things a little?

Again. Great app. Keep up and keep coming.
