distrowatch feed times out

I'm investigating this reader as a replacement for Google Reader. However at the very beginning the first issue

03-15-13 20:39:06 Debug ---
03-15-13 20:39:06 Debug start fetching source "Distrowatch (id: 4)
03-15-13 20:39:06 Debug spout successfully loaded: spouts\rss\feed
03-15-13 20:39:06 Debug fetch content
03-15-13 20:39:16 Error error loading feed content: cURL error 28: connect() timed out!
03-15-13 20:39:17 Debug ---

url used as given by distrowatch: http://distrowatch.com/news/dw.xml

URL works in browser or other readers (not a distrowatch issue) ...

Cheers
