I have the downloads scheduled in Calibre such that no more than 2 are simultaneous. (Calibre starts up automatically as a scheduled task, and then the news sources download per the schedule.) My suspicion is that there may be a memory leak or some other glitch in Calibre. This has been going on thru several updates but not longer than a 'few' months. Also, the issue is inconsistent. It may happen 2 or 3 times a week on random days.
