Have any Liferea (Linux feed reader) users been able to download plain text copies of their RSS feeds? I understand that it provides for offline viewing, so I assume that some sort of local caching is taking place, but don't know PHP so I can't modify it myself.

If impossible in Liferea, does anyone know of a simple way to download plain text copies of an RSS feed?
Assuming that with "plain text" you actually mean "raw", Liferea offers no ways to do that.
You can however user your favorite web browser: just open the feed and save it. For example, you can download the feed of Planet Ubuntu in Firefox visiting http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml and selecting File → Save Page As... from the menu.
If you prefer the terminal, you can use wget or curl:
wget http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml
