I am having problems with ADE and Google Play books.
Previously, I had no problem downloading DRM'ed books from Google Play into ADE. As of last night I am getting ADE Error 2038:
"IO Error on Network Request.
Please check your network connection and try again."
I thought it was just the one book and have requested a refund from Google Play. However, I just tried again, 24 hours later, to download a free but DRM'ed book just to test the waters and I am getting the same error

I can download books (thank the heavens) from Kobo with no problem so it is not purely an ADE problem.
Has anyone else had this difficulty or does anyone have any possible solutions I could try? (They would have to be simple as unfortunately I am not all that technical.)
I have a few Google Play giftcards to use and the only thing I buy from them is books
