Can you provide me more details?
Can you tell me exact feed urls?

When did you experience this error? Did you update the site and then it went wrong?
Do you know simpletest? There are simpletest tests for feedapi. If you have experience of using simpletest, please run the feedapi automated tests and tell if the test fail or not.

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with simpletest, but because you mention it I might be able to figure it out. I this in a Google search: http://simpletest.org/. Is that what you are talking about?

You may wish to contact me directly about this.

In my testing, all Blogspot or Feedburner feeds resulted in the same error message.

Examples:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/neliganville
http://paulnich.blogspot.com

Just tried the Neliganville feed without any problems. Does your server have access to feedburner.com?

It's a dedicated server, so we control it. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has been clamped down.

Simpletest is this:
http://drupal.org/project/simpletest
This is a Drupal module. You can install it on a site.
After that go to admin/build/simpletest
and you can run feedapi's test.
Please attach those tests' output. If those tests went wrong, there is a serious problem. Because currently the freshest CVS version pass those tests.

Not to bring this offtopic, but I am also having the same issue with FeedAPI.

When adding a Feed, or a Feed lightweight item, I get:
* Error parsing feed.
* Feed information could not be retrieved.

I believe a new version has been uploaded in the last few hours. Was the last version uploaded on Oct. 22, but now this latest version is uploaded on Oct. 26th, correct?

I forgot there was a simpletest module. Thanks for the information and for your efforts to fix this problem.

I've attached the results of the test.

Note: in order to get the test to deliver results I had to disable usernode module. I'm not sure if I should have disabled or changed any other modules or settings.

It's really strange. I created a support request: http://drupal.org/node/200037
Please read this carefully and do according to the instructions. If the simpletest tests are not successful, there is a very elementary/serious problem with the installation.
I mark this issue fixed, please reopen it if you experience this problem after you get the site to pass simpletest tests.
