I now believe this is not a Calibre issue, but I can't figure it out either. The behavior is bizarre and confusing:

I finally tried to connect to one of the feed index URLs from Internet Explorer on my home desktop and the page hangs and never finishes loading. However, from my laptop and through my same home network connection I can get to the index page and feeds with no problem. The other strange behavior from the desktop is that Calibre can pull feeds through at least some of the built-in recipes - for example, Business Week works - but some others also fail.

Does anyone have any idea what would stop IE or Calibre (or presumably any other news aggregator) from accessing certain rss feeds from a particular machine?
