It would be nice if each aggregated feed item (teaser and full) could instead of showing an author link, show the name and link of the site the item was aggregated from.

I really like this module. Opens up a whole new world of capabilities.

Thanks.

This is a good point. I would also like to see an _option_ to have the node title itself link through to the original article. Sometimes people get upset about their site not getting proper credit... despite the "original author" link.

Just add it to your theme wherever you want this to show.
Something like (tested and works, but might not be optimal):

<?php 
    if ($node->type == 'aggregator2_item') {
        print '<br /><small><a href="'. ($node->source_link ? $node->source_link : $node->link) .'" title="'. t('Read original article from') .' '. $node->feed_title .'">'. t('This article was aggregated from ') .' <strong>'. $node->feed_title .'</strong></a></small>';
 
    } ?>

I've also applied this to my feed, which is running Totalfeeds module.
I added the following buggy code to the function &_totalfeeds_prepare_item(&$node, $feedtype) :

    if ($item2->type == 'aggregator2_item') {
		$feedItem->content = '<small><a href="'. ($item2->source_link ? $item2->source_link : $item2->link) .'" title="'. t('Read original article from') .' '. $item2->feed_title .'">'. t('This article was aggregated from ') .' <strong>'. $item2->feed_title .'</strong></a></small>' . $feedItem->content;
	}
