Hi all,
Perhaps there is already a thread on this issue, but I didn't see it. I'm new here so perhaps I've looked in the wrong place.

Anyway, I move my ThinkPad back and forth between home and office, although I am working more from home lately. When I try to download the Calibre upgrades at home, they start, go for a while and then stop. I have also tried with SourceForge and that went to "9 seconds remaining" and then stopped cold. It did that several times.

I've tried downloading, with the same computer, from my office and it works fine.

I'm stumped about the reason for the problem. It only happens with this software. I have downloaded, from home, other "exe" files without a problem. Anyone have a suggestion?

This problem doesn't render Calibre useless (thank God! I love the software!) but it is annoying to have to wait, sometimes for a long time (especially when I am out of the country and only working from home).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Tony Geramita
