Hello Sam,

As far as the script is concerned, there is absolutely no difference between a CSV feed and an XML feed - you use them in exactly the same way.

1) Download the feed to your computer

2) Upload using your FTP program into your /feeds/ directory.

In the case of the sample URL that you have included in your post, you could use this as follows:

1) Browse to the feed in your web browser
2) Select "File > Save Document As..." (or similar) and save the feed to your local computer
3) Using your normal FTP program upload the file to your /feeds/ directory
4) Register and import as normal...

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
