The Economist

[Cedrus]

Hello,
I have tried to download the latest issue of The Economist magazine with Calibre 5.27 but it did not work. I also tried after upgrading to Calibre 5.28 but it also failed.
Below are the details of the error - can anyone suggest a way to fix this ?

Many thanks

Looking at the log it ends with

File "mechanize\_mechanize.py", line 313, in _mech_open

mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

I think it's safe to say the website was having issues; try again later.

Additionally this would be better posted in the Calibre / Recipes forum as opposed to General.
