Removing DRM from LIT, Mobi, eReader are all pretty much the same. You d/l the file and run a script/app which does the work. Once done you can convert to whatever format you need. Calibre will convert all three mentioned to LRF.

That said, LIT can only be purchased on a windows machine using IE. So, it isn't a choice for Mac/Linux people.

However, if you've already bought the LIT's you pretty much can't change to another format.

You might want to call MS support... I doubt the server is really down all this time. Do you have a firewall or something running on your PC that may be causing a problem?
