EEK -- I don't even know what a server is. LOL - Perhaps it's not a great solution for me. However, maybe by the time you get a tutorial done, I'll be a little more computer/internet savvy.

I won't really be hammering but while trying to test data retrieval, etc, I'm going to have to re-download a couple of fanfics over and over again, until I can get the code working. Before I do this, though, why don't you suggest to the owner/moderators to provide a link for a "printable version"?

*blushes* Oops. I feel a bit silly now. I took your advice regarding a printable version and it turns out there is one. All this time I've been copying, pasting and reformatting. In my defense though, it's the teeniest-tiniest little icon and gets lost in the site graphics.

Thanks for the super simple suggestion!!!

1. saves all fanfics into one giant file
2. date-based so it might re-download fanfics if there's a time overlap between scheduled downloads
3. no pagebreaks between chapters

There's probably a few others I haven't thought of. The Calibre recipe is somewhat broken right now. FanFiction.Net changed some things Sunday night and I still haven't gotten around to updating my website with the fixed ffnet source script. I should be able to fix this when I go home.

WOW -- That's a super fast fix. No worries if you don't get to it today. (Of course, I'm speaking for myself.) It's just greatly appreciated no matter how long it takes you to get to it.

A social life?! Shame on you. I just found this nifty grabber and you're already abandoning it. LOL -- Just kidding. It seems like you put an incredible amount of time and energy into this. You MORE than deserve to have a social life. Go have fun!

Thanks for the super quick reply. I appreciate the suggestions and help.
