Unfortunately I cannot download Multiscape, I get this message:
“Forbidden

Does anyone knows what this means and how to pass it…

Slightly late but I wanted to agree with Steve’s description of Times RSS reader – its visually stunning and I can see using it for selected feeds but I also use Google Reader. The interface is simply beautiful and the creators have done a fantastic job, but I agree when you have over a hundred feeds it becomes very difficult to use as intended. Maybe instead of a page curl they should go for the full page turn? but showing two pages on the screen is going to use up a lot of screen real estate so maybe it needs to be turned and tucked? Anyway if you haven’t tried it its well worth doing so.
C’mon Steve another review!
