Failing to download any articles.
Got it to work one day last week, but nothing since.
Tried it today using a VPN and it worked once (for 16 articles plus a bunch failed), Tried several more times with no VPN, and again with different VPN addresses (New York, Manchester UK) and all those failed.

So it seems pretty hit and miss at best.

I need t use my own IP because I have 5 other feeds that download automatically early every morning and are emailed to my Kindle, along with many others that monthly/weekly. So I'd hate to have to turn the VPN on every night just for the morning downloads - and never remember to turn it off! Don't know how the VPN would affect other feeds. Not sure if I'd have to keep changing the VPN just for Bloomberg.

So I guess I'm out of luck unless it can be more consistent.
