    The plugin, downloadable form here utilize the information send by the RSS reader in the HTTP request about the last time it had polled the RSS, to send only the newer items in the response instead of the default which is 10.

    How much bandwidth you are going to save? this is really hard to tell and depends on the the number of feeds being read, the number of different RSS readers reading each one of them, and the frequency of publishing new posts and comments. My guess would be that the saving will be no more then 1% of the bandwidth.

    It works for me, but I have tested it only against a limited set of RSS readers, and would like to now if it works against all of them.
