Is there a limit to the number of items downloaded at any one time from an RSS feed.
I have had an RSS feed set up in TB for a couple of weeks now, but the maximum number of messages collected at any time has never exceeded 30. When I previously connected to the same feed using MS Outlook I regularly received a lot more messages than that. I have been unable to find a setting in TB 3.8 that sets a limit.

No-one else having a problem with this? If I remember to leave my computer switched on overnight and remember to leave TB active, then there are regularly in excess of 100 messages waiting from the RSS feed. If I forget to ensure that TB is available to collect those messages then the max I can get are the latest 30. I don't think the RSS feed itself is at fault as I could always get all of the missed messages from the feed whilst using Outlook.
I get whatever in in my RSS feeds. Most people with issues in this area have an anti virus issue. It is failing and the feed is timing out while it mucks about.

I am not sure if that is the answer, although I do thank you for the suggestion. I was previously able to collect ALL recent messages from the RSS feed using MS Outlook even if the computer had been switched off overnight. The only thing that has changed is that I no longer use Outlook since I installed TB. I have found that TB is better than Outlook in most areas, the only problem I am having is that TB will download no more than the 30 most recent messages from the RSS feed if it has been offline for any reason. If the problem was caused by the antivirus, then I would expect that the later messages from the feed would be missing. The only AV I have on the computer is MS Defender.
