I am also seeing errors. Here is a result from a random link on the frontpage:

~$ curl http://news.yahoo.com/half-girls-south-sudan-forced-marry-140334618.html
<HEAD><TITLE>Connection refused</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black">
<FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial"><B>
  Connection refused</B></FONT>

<!-- default "Connection refused" response (502) -->
</BODY>
