Say I have 30 RSS feeds. Without asking 1 at a time for each update, can TBird be set to wait for response from update for feed1 before continuing to feed 2?
Using the same RSS service for several feeds. When I go to the root folder and ask for updates for all feeds in that folder, Thunderbird just goes down the list requesting updates for each feed sequentially. This tends to bog down the RSS service by asking for so many updates quickly in such rapid succession. Is there a way to make Thunderbird wait for a response to the request for an update to feed1 before it moves on to request an update for feed 2, etc.? I know I can click each feed and request an update manually, but it would be nice if there was a way to request all feeds the way I've described. Any hidden setting anywhere or anything that could be added to "about:config" that could allow for the behavior described? Thank you.

Not that I am aware of.
This tends to bog down the RSS serviceWhat does this mean. Asking a server for a small XML file (usually about 1kb) should not impose any real load on that server. It should cope with thousands of almost simultaneous requests.
If you are talking about Thunderbird being slow in responding. That may well be your anti virus program delaying things while it scans each and every URL in the XML file.
