I had the same problem when hosted on f2s. I think there is something wrong with their php.ini settings. I was never able to get it to work. I switched to phpwebhosting, and they have worked ever since.

As near as I could tell, their installation of PHP wasn't properly handling the fopen() when fetching the RSS file. It would timeout, and return with a failure. I seem to remember there was a setting when compiling PHP that needed to be set. I didn't need the feature enough to really track it down.

I had similar problems. Asked about them twice here and received no satisfactory answers.
I looked at the problem and it seemed to me that phpweblog was unable to retrieve the .rdf files because it is hard coded to go directly to the source host of the files on port 80.
In my case I sit behind Tasmanian Government firewalls and a cascade of proxy servers through which I access the net. I need to connect to a particular proxy on port 8080 to retrieve something from the net.
It seemed to me the phpweblog needs to be made proxy aware but that the developers were not in a hurry to do that.
In the end I constructed a work-around. I wrote a little shell script and a cron job. The shell script uses wget (a gnu command line based web page retriever that's proxy aware) to get the rdf's and rss's. It dumps them in a directory in the phpweblog tree and I point phpweblog's rdf block facility at these files.
At test of this system can be seen at http://cybil.tafe.tas.edu.au/phpweblog . rdf blocks (freshmeat, slashdot & cnn news refresh every 1/2 hour).
BTW, the best source I have been able to find for a list of such feeds is at http://www.xmltree.com . Anyone know any other sites like this?
