You sure you're talking about Xennanews? Do they restricted it to an ip range maybe? I tried it just now and it is not working...

Xennanews has been down for me for past couple of months
Am using test.xennanews.com and is been running like the wind for the past few months. Maybe, could be due to high usage I always suffer a bit downtime after I go in a download frenzy.

I guess they are blocking certain address ranges. I tried an US, Euro,and even a Hong Kong VPN server and got nothing. Count yourself lucky I suppose.
EDIT:
Made a discovery. I put xennanews to port 563 and it works now. I thought I tried this months back and it didn't work but since the server goes down once in awhile, I might of tried it when they were down and chalked it up as a failure.
Am going to change OP to reflect this.
Is reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl still working? I can't connect to the servers for at least a week and my ipv6 is fine (newszilla work).
