She did manage to download one or two files, but it was hard.
Hmm... really hard to see what you are doing. If you browse to the URL with /stanza on your PC... does it list the books properly? The /stanza responds with XML (an RSS feed) that lists the ebooks in the format Stanza wants. When you don't use /stanza it is just responding with html which is designed for a browser.

BTW: You said it didn't work when she used it on Mac. With the mac networking you have to add .local after the Mac's network name.. My mac is named iMac (yea, I know lame). So, when I browse to it in iPod Stanza I have to use:

http://imac.local:8080/stanza

If you want I could do a webex (remote sharing) with you some time to look at your setup. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to see the iPod. PM me if you are interested.

Also, you made sure to remove the "username" from calibre. Using a password protected one seemed to cause problems when I originally tired this.
