Doc reports that Neville Hobson is seeing his RSS feeds "hijacked" from a hotel. I suspect that what's happening is that Neville's network usage has expired, and all http requests are being redirected. I've had that happen before.

Yep, I just browsed his post. Look at the url that his feeds got redirected to: "http://soln-sr965.solutionip.com/register/"

I've definitely seen that before. What he got bitten by is a bad implementation of redirect by the hotel's ISP. The redirects should be temporary, but I bet they are all permanent. FeedDemon, like BottomFeeder, sees a permanent redirect on a feed and silently adjusts the properties for the feed in question. Very nasty - at hotels that have network service that I need to resubscribe to daily, I always take BottomFeeder offline when I go to sleep. Time for Neville to look for backups...
