Today both NYT and WSJ downloaded without issue. But as to network interference I did check Bitdefender settings and found that calibre.exe and calibre-parallel.exe already had all access permissions in the firewall settings. I then added rules to allow access for calibre-complete.exe, calibre-smtp.exe, and calibre-server.exe. Not sure all of those are relevant but is there anything else I should add.

Since all other scheduled recipes work fine, I suspect the issue may have more to do with traffic jams on the publisher websites. I had always scheduled both WSJ and NYT to downloaded at 6:00am (pacific). I recently moved WSJ to 8:30am (pacific) thinking there might be less traffic. Not sure that's made a significant difference.

Since the point at which the downloads stall always seems to be at an image, I've also just tweaked both NYT and WSJ recipes to exclude images by adding "dict(name='img')" to the Remove Tags section of each. I'll watch them for a week or so to see if that helps. (I subscribe to both and can always see the photos in the phone apps or on the web.)
