I'll explain better ... we have 2 sources, a fast one and a slow one. The
fast one has far too many groups, far more than we need, the slow one has
an ideal number of groups - so no need for filtering (which would be best
avoided in our case). Due to the slow feed being slow we'd like to
download the content from the fast source, but the list from the slow
source - is this possible?
