 Since most hosts I have tried have allow_url_fopen disabled why not use
 cURL to handle all RSS feeds, that or at least give an option to switch
 between 2 methods in the dashboard.

 Currently every RSS feed in my dashboard results in an fopen error which
 makes the page look rather ugly, plus any plugin which depends on RSS
 (Twitter for example) automatically fails.
