Independent newspaper UK - now too big download?!
Hi,

I've been using for the last few months without problem the recipe to get The Independent newspaper (English UK) -- successfully downloading and converting to epub daily.

On average it takes me about 10-15 minutes and the file size is usually around 5 to 10 mb. But...

Just yesterday and today, the downloading of the feed and compilation of the epub takes upwards 3 hours! - something definitely wrong, and the file size is so big, 170 mb! that I can't even open the epub file to see what's in there.

Can anyone confirm that it's the Independent's website that's causing the problem recently, and not the recipe, or could it be something I'm suddenly doing wrong? (I don't know anything about coding recipes, btw)

(I'm using Calibre 0.9.23, reverted back to it as a test, but latest version seems to have the same problem, so likely not a calibre version problem.)
Thanks!
