The problem is that the site is gone (a few days ago, it was OK) and
url-insert-file-contents (4.0pre46) pops a buffer when such error
happens (I am not sure whether the CVS url package behaves the same).

In most time, I use wget to download those pages.  First, (setq
nnrss-use-local t) to use the local copies of pages if exist.  Then,
`M-x nnrss-generate-download-script RET' generates a script for
downloading.
