Thanks.

No. As I said in the previous post the fix was implemented because download of the content using obfuscated links is several times slower than when using direct links. The fix simply looks for feedburner_origlink tag first. If it exists it takes content of it. If it does not it returns content of the link tag.

And now that you've said it twice, I think I follow you. The obfuscated link may involve some other processing, click tracking or whatever that slows down the retrieval so you go straight to the origlink, if it exists.

Because guid tag is not guaranteed to contain valid URL to the content, while origlink is. Therefore if a developer is sure that guid contains valid links he can override the method in his recipe.

Again, that makes sense (now). I wasn't aware that guid might not contain valid links, but if I've looked at it for a specific recipe/ feed and know it does, I can use it.
