Failed News Download - Corrupt File

I have the issue that the news fetch fails half-way through with the Los Angeles Times. Calibre will then crash because the metadata.db and the file itself are corrupted (partial file).

The issue is that the file is then locked to linuxuser/nobody so I cannot delete the file from my PC. The metadata.db is locked because it is trying to open the fetch file. Thus, Calibre will not open.

I have tried eraser and a few other programs to delete the file with no luck (maybe because it is stored on a NAS drive?).


Any ideas out there???
