Request: Wired Magazine UK

[StalkS]

The 'Wired Magazine UK' recipe currently available in Calibre seems to have stopped working. Would someone be able to take a look? Or be able to a advise a complete n00b on the best way to go about trying to fix It?

Kind regards

I believe that's Kiklop74's recipe. He will probably spot your post here. Yes, it's broken, and it's because the site has changed.

I'll look into that this week.
