Manichean, thanks for pointing me at the log. It is definitely trying to go through a proxy. After I installed calibre, I noticed that a proxy was, indeed, setup in my Internet Connection. I have since removed it. It is unquestionably removed. Now, I can only suspect that calibre copies the Internet Connection info upon installation, and doesn't actually use the live Internet Connection info. I have rebooted and that didn't resolved it. Where do I go in calibre to remove that copied proxy info?
