I opened this as a ticket on the Calibre site, but thought I should post here in case it's something others have run into, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. My wife's iPod Touch, using Stanza, can download books from her Mac, using Calibre on the Mac, but runs into problems when she tries to get books from Calibre on my PC, all on the same home network.

Here's a terse cut-and-paste of my summary:

Failed attempts to download books from Calibre running on Win XP machine to iPod Touch running Stanza. Server is turned on in Calibre and set to port 8080, no username or password.

In Stanza on the Touch, I used the following URL in the online catalog:

http://sagittarius:8080/stanza

What that gets me is a message: "Do you want to download the ebook stanza?"

When I remove the /stanza from the URL, I can see a portion of the Calibre library as a web page in tiny type, essentially unusable.

On the same Touch, the communication works properly to my wife's Mac, where she uses the URL:

http://hermacbook.local:8080/stanza

User error? Stanza bug? Calibre bug?
