I experienced that problem and found that our
firewall system blocks http requests with
an user agent containing the words "gator"
(which they say is a well known spyware).

Akregator-1.2.2 queries the servers using 
the user agent string "Akregator/1.2.2; librss-remnants"
which is not configurable.  Bad idea..

Workaround: use khexedit to locate the 
string "Akregator/" and patch it as "Akregatar/".  
Then everything works as it should.
