Comment 1 for bug 226741

Thank you for reporting this. According to the Liferea documentation, "Per default Liferea does not automatically download enclosures. But you can enable auto-downloading for each feed separately." Please see this link for instructions on enabling this: http://liferea.sourceforge.net/help140/enclosures_en.html Please let us know whether you already have this enabled, and if so, is it not downloading enclosures properly, or at all?

Regarding other content, Liferea seems to only download and cache images when an item is read, even when auto-download is selected for enclosures. This appears to be its intended behavior. Did you experience a different behavior in an earlier version or a different distro? If not, this may be a feature request, rather than a bug.
