why connection refused?

d = feedparser.parse('http://lenta.ru/rss') print d {'feed': {}, 'bozo': 1, 'bozo_exception': URLError(error(111, 'Connection refused'),), 'entries': []}

I'm not sure. Since you have a paying account, you have unrestricted internet, so it's not our proxy... What happens if you try and get it via another tool, eg

import requests
print requests.get('http://lenta.ru/rss').text

It's possible that they have a block on all amazon ec2 addresses...

it's ok for now: (previous few days entries len was 0) 2012-11-14 checking sources entries len: 40 source: http://lenta.ru/rss N0: totalDataLen: 40 entries len: 20 source: http://ria.ru/export/rss2/world/index.xml N1: totalDataLen: 60 entries len: 76 source: http://wsrss.bbc.co.uk/russian/index.xml N2: totalDataLen: 136 entries len: 53 source: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml N3: totalDataLen: 189 entries len: 15 source: http://news.rambler.ru/rss/popular/world/ N4: totalDataLen: 204 entries len: 15 source: http://news.rambler.ru/rss/popular/head/ N5: totalDataLen: 219

Thanks for confirming. How is the script running? That is, is it in a web application, a console, or a scheduled task?

For reference, I believe feedparser uses urllib2 under the hood (it also imports urllib, but I think that's just for some other definitions).
