worked for me.
still Nothing here... I tried fetching it with wget. I got some kind of redirection loop. [...] Reusing existing connection to

If however I do wget -U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Iceweasel/31.0"

Then I get the file. I suspect something like this is preventing thunderbird(an old icedove actually) from fetching it. How do I make it fake the user-agent string?
Figuerd out how to set the string. it did not help. guess the mail client really is broken.
Firefox reads it fine, but FeedMinder barfs.
