Nutshell RSS Reader
NOTE:
This project is no longer under development. If you would like the VB6 source code, (largely uncommented), send an email to the address below.
If you want an alternative, I have had good experiences with Newzie as an RSS Reader, and Ziepod for downloading enclosures (like podcasts).
