Cannot get feed from http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lucian/atom.aspx

problem
1

Attempting to get the feed at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lucian/atom.aspx fails for some reason. I have tried the RSS version as well with same result.

The “Fix a misbehaving site” dialog keeps showing timeout errors, but the feed can be accessed directly in the browser without problems.

I’m having a similar problem with another MSDN blog

It kind of looks like MSDN has blocked Newsblur.

Hmm, I played around with it a bit more (insta-fetch I think) and now this particular blog at least has been successfully updated.

NewsBlur can be pretty aggressive in trying to fetch feeds, which causes some publishers to unintentionally block NewsBlur. My feed fetchers then back off at an arithmetic rate until it works again. Not ideal, but should fix some of these issues.
