I appreciate your patience with this. Will you kindly post one of the four recipes you tested with so I can try it as well?

I made the changes you suggested and set the delay to 5 seconds and only return one day. It still hung up at about 19%. I also commented out the IF statement that worked with tag processing and when I ran it again got another "a" error. That's why I'd like to try your recipe.

Thanks again for your assistance,

Hi again,
Well, I can't figure out the problem, but I think I found a resolution.
I took the GoComics recipe and made two recipes out of it - one for four panel comics and another for single pane comics and editorials. Running each one would, at times, work (seldomly) or return the hang or return the "a" error. This was happening repeatedly.
Since I was doing the download testing during slow periods of my day at work, I decided to try again at home. This time it worked like a champ for both recipes.
The weird part was when I recombined the recipes into one and tried again. At that point I started getting the "a" error again. When I tried again with the two seperate recipes, again, it worked fine.
BTW - I also added the line "return self.adeify_images(soup)" at the end so the results would not be cut off on my Sony 600.

Thanks for your patience and help!
-Mike
