https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ima...add1/help.gifI recently downloaded Calibre, had problems, updated to the newest version, still have the same problem. Why is it that I have to be connected to the net to convert a book? Reading is no problem at all, but converting one is. The program keeps saying it is waiting. Waiting for what-- it seems to be waiting to connect to the net so it can do what I have asked it to do.
I have been disconnected from the net, started a conversation, came back 20 minutes later, and it is still 'waiting' if you click the spinning hourglass. If I connect to the internet (with or without all those alarms, anti-viral software, etc my son keeps put in, or updating for me, going,) it converts in just a few seconds!

I have tried to search the forums and have not found anything useful yet, .py? files, 'terminal'? command prompt?. In fact, please assume I am a senior citizen that doesn't know much about computers, and explain in normal everyday english if you can. I know that sometimes that is difficult to do when talking compterese. Please have patience with me.
thank you
