Itunes keeps saying Network Timed Out

I am hoping someone here can help me. I am trying to submit a new podcast to itunes. I have now tried on three different computers and three different internet connections. Everytime I submit the feed I get "network timed out". I have tested my code on the itunes advanced menu and it works. I checked it with feedchecker and it says its valid. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My feed is http://stoppingstupid.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

iBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Thanks Roger, I actually tried that feed several times as well. I still get the same error. I am trying it one more time now just to make sure. But when I put that feed into feedburner it says its not a valid feed.
Nope, same error.

+We could not complete your Itunes reguest+
+The network connection was reset+
+make sure your network connection is active and try again.+

Stardancerelf, thanks for the thought. But I have been trying to submit it since Tuesday. At least ten times a day. I can't believe that I happen to be doing it at the busiest times every time. I have also seen that same error, but normally only after my third attempt in a row. So I don't think that is it, but who knows at this point.

Thanks for the thoughts all. I even created another cast to attempt to submit it and got the same error. I have no idea what is wrong.

It's very difficult to read your feed because it has no line returns in it, so in FireFox it comes out all on one line, and in TextEdit it's one large block. Feedvalidator throws up two complaints: one is the presence of an 'app:edited' tag which is unofficial, though I would have thought that iTunes would simply have ignored it. The other is that you have set no iTunes category: I don't know whether that might be enough to cause problems.

Okay, I see the feedchecker errors you are talking about. I have no idea how to fix them. I tried looking at the feed code, and searching for the "errors" and neither can be found in the feed.

As for a category, when would I have been able to set that? It that in itunes or feedburner itself? All I did was create a blog and create a feed. Why would feedburner and google make faulty code? So odd.

Can you please tell me how to set a category or change the base code? I would also appreciate any help you can provide on being able to find those errors from feedchecker.

Thanks again for you help and suggestions. I can't begin to explain how frustrating this is. Day 8 and counting.
