But I dont trust the websniffer tool. It said that my feed size is 56KiB. But feedburner stopped publishing because my actual feed file size was 657KB. When I tried saving my feed file on hard disk the size is 657KB but websniffer tool always only reported as 56KiB. I use posterous blogging to post my audio podcasts. Is there a way I can decrease my feed file size?

Thank I used Web Sniffer you posted and its 92k. I created a feed for a client and thought it was much bigger.

Thanks for the advise.
Checked my sites feed size and they were all below the limit, between 30 – 50 KiB.

I never thought about this before, the size of my RSS feed is well within exceptable limits. As for setting your post numbers in WP admin I don’t see a problem in setting this at 50 and showing excerpts for your feeds. Isn’t this a good tactic for building your backlinks?
