First I'd like to say I really appreciate what you have done here. Its exactly what I wanted. I have one problem though, and my unicode/ascii/python knowledge is limited.

Filename generation on windows throws exceptions if the special characters are in the feed name. For example \ / : * ? " < > |
I was able to fix this by using a loop on the filename from this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/295135/turn-a-string-into-a-valid-filename-in-python

Then
Special characters in the feed name are throwing exceptions at line 70 in the main file. I got an error with the unicode bullet character ‘\u2022’. I removed the bullet from one of my feeds, to have another feed throw an exception here. This I haven't figured out how to correct yet. I tried what was suggested here: http://ltslashgt.com/2007/07/16/string-sanitization-in-python/
but have yet to get it to work yet.

Any help on the issue would be greatly appreciated. Time is kinda of the essence too. :D Either way, much thanks for the program. I was able to get my most important feeds out with all data.

There are certain blogs that I subscribe recently.

I would like to have stored all that is posted on them

Could you implement something to work off all the items on a blog that are stored regardless of whether they are read or not?

Thanks
