I have a simple recipe to pull newsfeeds from the Houston Chronicle - simply 6 of the URLs for the rss newsfeeds. I've been using it for months from my laptop, works like a charm. Recently I decided to put Calibre on my home desktop, and the same recipe is unable to pull in the stories from the feeds. An ebook is created, but is each section is empty.

I am able to use the laptop through my home ISP without problems. Also, I can use the desktop to download "canned" recipes that come with Calibre without problems. It is my 'custom' Houston Chronicle recipe that fails - I even "shared" the recipe from my laptop to my desktop (loading the Python script) to ensure it was exactly the same and still no go.

The laptop OS is XP Pro and the home desktop is XP Home. Both are running Calibre 0.6b10 at this point, but I also tried 0.5 on the desktop without success.

Any ideas what is happening?
