Have you subscribed to any eduBuzz blogs via Bloglines? Do you still use it? If not, maybe you could do us a favour and delete those subscriptions?
Over the past few weeks the edubuzz service has occasionally been grinding to a halt. On those occasions, server memory resources have become exhausted, and a server restart has been necessary.
This has happened often enough now for a pattern to be apparent. On each occasion when the server load becomes excessive, there are very large numbers of internet connections from the Bloglines crawler. Tonight, for example, when it became necessary to restart there were 77 concurrent internet connections from Bloglines, almost half the connections in use. I’ve tried reporting this to Bloglines before, but didn’t get an answer.
There should be no need for Bloglines to demand updates from eduBuzz unless they’ve got users who have subscribed to eduBuzz blogs. Maybe if we can identify and get rid of redundant Bloglines subscriptions we can improve things, without having to block Bloglines?

I am one of those using Bloglines and I have found it very useful.
Can you suggest any other such service which does what I want but which doesn’t clog up the server.
I will remobe by edubuzz subscriptions when I get a chance.
Netvibes is the aggregator I use Robin. I find it easier to use than Bloglines.
I am happy to show you the ins and outs.

Another very popular web-based service amongst people who subscribe to many feeds is Google Reader. There’s good on-line help, and a good selection of shortcut keys.
I’m pleased to say I’m not aware of any other aggregators clogging up the server. 8)
