When I updated to the latest version of Calibre tonight (2.43) a message popped up re: the firewall and Calibre. As I was reading it, it timed out and a message saying Calibre wouldn't be allowed internet access replaced it.

I know I need to add Calibre as a trusted site in my firewall program controlls. However, there are a lot of Calibre exe files to choose from. I added calibre2\calibre.exe because I thought that would be the obvious choice. Then decided to test if Calibre could get through by downloading metadata which led to me addding calibre 2\calibe-parallel.exe to the trusted programs list.

Will that be sufficient? Which one is it that checks to make sure Calibre and plugins are up-to-date?

Sorry to be a bother. I don't know why the firewall suddenly decided it didn't like Calibre anymore.
