The remote host returned the status 503, a general error that says
nothing more than "Function not performed, closing connection".
An INN with a corrupt database might return just the same status code
when trying to fetch articles. AFAIK, there aren't any status codes
notifying a timeout or just any kind of temporary error.

I have no idea how to determine timeout or connection lost issues.
