Convert Failed Downloads

Hi,

Unfortunately I need to use the equivalent of a dial up connection which is not very stable. This means that when I try and download newspapers sometimes the connection hangs, usually about three quarters of the way through the download.

I've found the folder where the downloaded articles are stored, my question is can I convert the partial download into an EPUB document and if so how do I do this please.

David.

Not really, the download has to complete because the index files are only created after the download completes.
