SSL is failing to verify the site's certificate--which works fine for me.

So either something is wrong with your SSL connection, like a man-in-the-middle attack, or you don't have the appropriate certificates to compare to.

Calibre, and therefore FFDL, use your OS's base certificate store. So if you're getting certificate verify failed errors, it's likely that your OS hasn't been updated in a while and doesn't have the correct certs.

If your OS is already up to date, I don't know of anything else I could do to help you.
