Figured out what the issue is. Mantano doesn't like having a port number for the downloads. I was running calibre through a reverse proxy that's why downloads were working for me. If I try connecting directly to the content server, I also get a download failed error.
If port 80 is available on your system, I suggest changing the port setting for calibre's content server to port 80. The calibre server would then be on
http://myipaddress/opds which should work with Mantano (covers and thumbnails still won't work, though). For those that are able to do this, switching to port 80 would make for a quick fix.
However, Mantano developers definitely need to fix this (and other bugs) in their app.
Bugs:
- No legacy support for OPDS 0.9 catalogs.
- Port numbers not supported in acquisition/download links.
- Some OPDS compliant catalogs are unsupported (e.g. Project Gutenberg).
Feature Requests:
- UTF-8 support for catalog and metadata.
- Legacy support for Stanza formatted catalogs.
- Allow editing of catalog titles and links.
- Add option to also download/save metadata and covers from catalog for downloaded ebooks.
- Tighter integration between catalogs and ebooks (Stanza on iOS shows if the ebook has already been downloaded from a catalog).
- Download all option.
