/me seconds allison's comment above

the sync spinner runs forever and I tried adding a feed manually
(http://feeds.nytimes.com/nyt/rss/US), disabling the sync on start
option, the rss feed gets added without problems but shows no feeds
found after adding the feed. clicking the refresh button, Problem
appears again.

-1 here too for now.
