It turned out the second feed has got broken, which probably made
liferea wait for a time-out.

But even though it does not seem to be a bug, it could use some
enhancements,

1. like showing what it is doing (I could not exactly see what liferea
was doing at that moment) It would be nice if the bottom toolbar would
for instance not only showed: 'feed-blabla has no changes since last
update' but also the task it currently is performing, like "connecting
to some-feed"

2. Maybe another idea is to show in the feed-list the action which is
performed on the feed, so maybe add a temporary icon to the feed which
is being updated.

3. It looks like the feeds aren't updated in multiple threads, by using
threads you would also solve the waiting-issue if one feed is broken and
the application is waiting for a time-out. (maybe only a limited number
of threads if unlimited threads would cause other issues)
