Odd, the listings look OK from here. Try downloading them manually to see if 
you've been limited or if there is a broken proxy in between or something 
(it's happened before). I can't tell your IP from your mail headers otherwise 
I'd be able to tell you.

This is basically the same error as above but I haven't caught it properly in 
that section of the code. I'll make a note to fix it.
