You can't control the server resources: if feeds/notices are removed 
upstream you cannot access them neither from rss nor http. Dead end :-)

What you can control from a RSS reader is:

1/ The feeds status (read/unread/tagged/whatever)
2/ The time you want to keep them from your rss reader
3/ Cached items

By using "cache" you can bypass the server settings and thus making the 
"feed" (not the full news source) to live "eternally" or until the 
specified time interval you choose, they will be stored locally in your 
hard disk. Besides, latest versions of Liferea have added a new feature 
called "bins" (kinda static collector) to expand that same purpose:

http://liferea.sourceforge.net/help180/newsbin_en.html

RSS feeds are, in this regard, similar to an IMAP account: their own 
nature is being "server-dependant" but caching items and permanently 
store them aside is also possible.
