+Periodically the client will loop through the feed list and download a feed update.  The feed update will be stored in a temporary file and any new items will be added to and old items will be deleted from the existing feed list.

+Feed updates are required when the current_time > (last_update + update).
+
+New items are items in which there is not already a matching guid in the existing list.
+
+Old items are items that are marked deleted in the existing list and do not have an entry in the feed update.
