AniDB

I swear I searched the forums for the answer and couldn't find it. I hope this is the right forum

Ever since Thursday, May 20 (last time the server went down), my newsreader (FeedReader Alpha 2.5) can't access http://anidb.ath.cx/anidb.rdf . However, if I access that URL with IE, I get the correct XML newsfeed file with the latest news.

I read in another thread that GZip compression is now used throughout the site. Does this apply to the newsfeed as well? Is there any newsreader out there that support gzip?

(I was actually surprised that a search for "rdf" only showed the announce URL and another discussion -- I though this feature was pretty handy Or is there something else people use to keep up-to-date with AniDB's latest additions? )

edit: I forgot to describe the error, in case someone's using the same client as me: it no longer updates the newsitems (even though I know they're there, when opening via IE). When I tried to create a new feed using that URL, it complained "No newsfeed found".

Latest files for a general overview, myplace -> up2date for a general but mylist-centric overview and for the really important things: Notifications

i am pretty sure that this is caused by the gzip compression of rdf files.
right now i can't name any rdf client which supports gzip bc i do not use any myself ATM.
