Kovid,
Been in contact with the techies who manage the system here at the rehab center. They state that they are not using a proxie server. The down loaded a copy calibre and were able, at the root level of the local server to get it to download various newsfeeds. But when they (using their language) go up to the second level, the level at which the 'house' computers live with full read access to the local server (medical data) it fails. And I am at the third level. As they explained it to me each of the levels are seperated by firewalls to prevent unauthorized access to private data. They are looking at what ports need to be open to create a tunnel for calibre. I don't know if any of this makes sense to you. But I begin to worry when I hear another of the techies in the background saying "Careful Mike, he seems to know more about this than we do"! Sigh - were that only true.
In any event I ran this in terminal mode:
Code:
feeds2lrf --verbose 'Associated Press'
and after allowing it to cook for a while I did a keyboard interrupt and got the following messages
Traceback (most recent call last):

Perhaps there is a clue here
