Looks like the URL has changed as of last monday, it is now i.e.
http://www.cruciverb.com/puzzles/lat/lat140202.puz
I didn't get a Newsweek puzzle today either, I'll check into that.

Ok, LAT is the one puzzle I do every day, so it seems like as good a time as
any for me to play around with some Android development...
It looks like the puzzles are still in the same place, they just changed the
prefix. I was able to download all puzzles from Jan 24 - Feb 3 with this (up
to Jan 26 both prefixes work, but afterwards only 'la' works).
I also updated the headers based on what I saw in the packet capture. If I use
'Accept-Encoding' it fails - I didn't look into it but I assume it obliges and
sends us a compressed version which we don't handle properly... I just
commented it out for now.

As of 2:28 pm PDT, I am still unable to download LA Times puzzles, and I've
already uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I am able to download USA Today
puzzles, so the app does work on my phone.
