I have authorized calibre manually through both firewalls - this error occurs after the threads are downloaded, after the ePub is created, and before the file ends up in the folder "calibre" inside the Calibre Library folder.

The Popular Science file was indicated as 'created' in the calibre program, but was an empty file - that last error was what I got when trying to view the file. (aka, there was no file)

I ran the setup again, upgraded to the newest version (0.8.28) and attempted to get News again. One of the 6 feeds managed to make it to the real ePub file (Engadget [Mon, 28 Nov 2011] (150)) but none of the others. I even restarted the computer, thinking it was due to the locked "Unknown" file folder, but no joy.

The error says "Unhandled exception" at the top of the window, if that makes any difference.

Here's the error I got when trying the Calibre Blog

Spoiler:

which I think is the same one as before.

I'll continue to poke and prod at it.
