Make sure that your browser is actually re-downloading the file not using a cached copy (you can tell it is using a cached copy if the download finishes instantaneously).

Hi Kovid,
An update on my situation. Before installing 7.30 I was running 7.29 and also had python 2.7 installed on my computer. It is an Acer netbook running Win 7 starter. I had no problems with Calibre 7.29 or with python 2.7. I don't have any Apple/iTunes software on this computer.
When I first got the error message in 7.30, I uninstalled it and also uninstalled pyton 2.7. I tried to reinstall 7.30 and still got the message. Then I uninstalled 7.30 and tried to reinstall 7.29 and got another type of python error message saying:
'Bad magic number in C:\Program files\Calibre2\Lib\unittest\_init_.pyo(Error Code: 1).
I think when uninstalling 7.30, I did not remove all files and this caused the error in 7.29. Since then I have completely uninstalled 7.30, removed any files from it and reinstalled 7.29. Calibre 7.29 is working for now.
I don't think the problem is python 2.7 since I had python 2.7 installed with no problems, and I don't have iTunes on this computer. Plus 7.30 is working on an old laptop with iTunes running Win XP.
Hope this gets fixed soon. Calibre is a great program. If you need any more info, let me know.
Thanks,
Carol
