What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication, also known as RSS feed) is an alternative way of web browsing. Web
publishers often use RSS feeds to publish frequently-updated works, such as blog entries, news headlines,
podcasts, photo albums, or audio/video clips.
Can Download Station download all kinds of RSS feeds?
RSS files on the website of BT search engines and iTunes podcasts are generally supported by Download
