Anyone know why I keep getting this error? I am trying to fetch the St. Louis Post Dispatch. I've checked and the newspaper is updated to today's paper and yet it takes over 20 minutes everyday to fetch it.

By the definition of the error its not the newspaper that I'm trying to fetch that has a problem -- the problem is Calibre cannot connect to the internet.
And yet if I hit F1 it immediately opens my browser and goes to the calibre website. Also if there is an update I click on the update and it immediately goes to the calibre download page and I can download the update immediately.

My question is if Calibre can connect to the internet to do all that why can't it connect to the internet to fetch my news?

Thanks,
