I hope I'm wrong, but it appears OverDrive for Mac desktop app is now dead.

I've been using it on an old Mac running 10.13 High Sierra (it won't run on anything newer than 10.14) and when I try to download an audiobook it throws an error message: "A connection to the Internet could not be established."

Also, Safari on High Sierra can no longer connect to my library's OverDrive website; instead it throws this error: "Error loading page ... there may be a network issue".

When I try on Chrome, the OverDrive website loads fine, but the "Download MP3 audiobook" button is no longer available. So not only is OverDrive for Mac not working, but Mac web browsers aren't offered a download button to get the .odm file.

So basically, OverDrive for Mac won't connect to the Internet and there's no way to get an .odm file using a browser on Mac (without using Developer Tools to change the User Agent to a Windows machine — but then we go back to the OverDrive-for-Mac-won't-connect-to-the-Internet problem).

Are OverDrive for PC users seeing similar problems, or is it just Mac?

Also, I notice that when I go to the OverDrive website the prompt to switch to Libby is much bigger.

I'm a little worried the OverDrive website is also being phased out in favor of libbyapp.com
