This plugin was born out of an explicable problem with the standard 
Wordpress RSS widget on my server. Whether a curl problem within 
fetch_feed() or something else, this plugin now uses DOM to load 
the feeds rather than curl. If you’re getting the “An error has 
occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.” message (and 
you are sure that your feed is valid (validate with 
feedvalidator.org) try this plugin.
