I am a user of an aggregation service called Planet Lotus.
Planet Lotus is an aggregation of blogs and related content to do
primarily with IBM Lotus software. There are currently 293 blogs
aggregated by Planet Lotus and a large proportion of them use
Feedburner feeds.
Recently, Planet Lotus has been suffering significant delays acquiring
updated content from Feedburner feeds. These delays can be several
hours. This devalues the Planet Lotus service and has caused some
users to reconsider their use of Feedburner for their feeds.
Is Feedburner rate limiting or throttling requests from Planet Lotus?
Perhaps, being unknown to Feedburner, the comparatively large number
of requests for feeds coming from that single source looks suspicious
or even unwelcome?
Could Feedburner please investigate and, if possible, allow Planet
Lotus to have unfettered access to Feedburner feeds which it polls?
The IP of the Planet Lotus server is 208.109.86.223. This is the only
IP making requests on behalf of Planet Lotus.
I would like to second this request. PlanetLotus.org has been seeing
significant delays during the daytime hours as it looks like
FeedBurner is serving up cached information during that time to the
planetlotus.org server.
My Feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/Greyhawk68) is one of the ones
affected, so a post I make during mid-day might not show up until 8PM
on planetlotus.org, even though it shows up in other places such as
Newsgator near immediately.

I would second this! I have been a very happy Feedburner user for
years and would like to be able to continue using my feed on this
PlanetLotus website with the other bloggers - many of whom also use
Feedburner.

I would also like to add my support for this ticket. I deleted my
Feedburner feed because of this issue. I had also noticed slowness
with my Feedburner'ed update showing up on Bloglines as well. This
appeared to start happening at the end of August.
Greetings Feedburner engineer... http://planetlotus.org resides on my
server. Its a dedicated server at godaddy and has no caching servers
or services attached. If there is anything you need from me to
expedite the resolution of this ticket please contact me at yancy at
teratechie and it ends in .com.
My feedburner feed is still intact, but I have had the feed referred
to by the Planet Lotus site changed back to the default feed generated
by my blog.
I have experienced a dramatic slow-down in time for my new posts
showing up on Bloglines and the aforementioned Planet Lotus for the
last couple of weeks similar to AndyD's experiences.
I would ask that this thread be looked at carefully and if anything
can be done about this, it would be great!

Having the feed available to an aggregator only in the evening hours
invalidates the purpose of using Feedburner. I'd appreciate an
understanding of why the service is being restricted. Right now, I'm
debating what is the best way to present my RSS material--keep it in
Feedburner ? http://www.leadershipbynumbers.com
