XML load in actionscript

I am trying the basic XML parsing code from the adobe documentation..

I tried it with several RSS feeds I plan to use, many of large websites..

one worked, the others returned status -10, status: -10 (An end-tag was encountered without a matching start-tag.)

the thing is, these are big sites, there is no way all of their feeds are malformed...

plus, I checked briefly the XML structure, and checked it with an XML syntax checker (Notepad++) and it came out correct..

so why is flash treating these as malformed ? how can I solve it ?

http:// rotter.net/rss/rotternews.xml

this doesn't work, and other don't as well from other sites, some other links do work.

I made some progress, I found that loading this rss url,

via a browser gets me the right content, but when I try it in Orbit download manager, I only get six bytes! which are

</rss>

maybe this is what flash sees as well ?

what could be the reason for me getting only partial content ?

please help...
