I really like the idea of Aggregator2.module. I like the fact that it saves rss feeds as nodes.

I can see a problem that is going to happen with some of my feeds though. Some websites that I get feeds from won't always have the images on their server that is in the feeds. Nor do I think it is right for using their bandwidth to serve the images.

Would it also be possible to save images in the feed as nodes as well? This way they won't disappear and won't be served from other servers.

well, that idea is in deed complicated one but maybe for now a good solution could be an option to automaticly change relative urs to absolute urls ? but im not a coder, maybe some one could do that?

im provide testing with plesure ;)

Why not just DL the images to your /files or a /files subfolder, and then address them via relative or full address? If you're willing to DL the artwork into a node, why not just DL the file as is and serve/access it from somewhere other than a node?

cchurch: they are looking for a way for the images/media to be downloaded automatically without user intervention. Images/media are hardcoded inside the RSS feed, which is how they appear in agg2 nodes - embedded and pointing to external servers.
