Does anyone know of a PHP script designed to aggregate RSS feeds, with the ability to cache images provided in feeds? I'm trying to use a feed which includes a link to a thumbnail for each item, and I'd like to save the images locally.
Also, what is the best free RSS aggregating script for PHP?

I'm not sure the any RSS aggregator should or could store local copies of attached images and files. You would have to: parse the RSS Feed, identify any references to images or other files, download and save those files and then modify the src/href attributes to point to local copies rather than those provided in the feed. That includes working out your own naming convention to avoid filename conflicts.
If you're talking about working with just one feed then it gets easier - but means you'll have to customise a script yourself.
