Skip bad feeds in Sage?

How can I get Sage to just skip bad feeds that won't load? In particular, Metafilter and Ask Metafilter.
The RSS feeds on both Metafilter and Ask Metafilter always cause my Sage RSS program to get stuck. Those feeds will have trouble loading and the program will just hang there rather than skipping those feeds and moving down the list. As these are sites I like to visit throughout the day, I keep them listed at the top. While I realize that I can move them to the bottom so as not to run into this problem, it just seems like there would be another way around it.
1. How can I get Sage to just skip bad feeds that won't load? Is there some button or command that I am not aware of that will allow me to skip through the various feeds? Or a setting where I tell it to automatically skip feeds that won't load? It seems like sometimes it will do this on it's own, but other times it just gets stuck trying to load the bad feeds and it won't advance down the list.
2. Why are the MeFi and AskMefi feeds often having trouble loading? (Like right now, I can access the websites fine, but I cannot load the feeds). I have many other feeds collected, sometimes they will experience a burp or two every now and then, but it seems like these two feeds go down (sometimes for hours at a time) on a daily basis? Is it just their server or am I missing something?
