Unable to Load Metadata/PluginUpdater fails to respond

zulusailor · 06-21-2011, 09:22 PM

Currently running Version 0.8.6

Since yesterday evening Edit Metadata>Download Metadata etc fails to respond.

The significant error appears to be: URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it>

Also no luck with Plugin Updater which doesn't respond: 'Unable to reach Forums index page'. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...67&postcount=1

I can access this URL address no problem in Firefox

No updates to antivirus received for a week although Windows Defender seems to be doing things in the background which I am not sure about.

Any ideas?

Your Proxy settings (IE) may be wrong/not set.
Your Firewall may be blocking Calibre.exe

Thanks, the Ducks,

All sorted. For some reason overnight Windows Firewall started blocking Calibre.

You help most appreciated.

Do you have automatic updates on

I highly recommend using the "(download and) Notify Me option", and then use the "Custom Installation" Choice so you CAN READ the descriptions of what this will apply to your system.

Note: I DO NOT advocate NOT installing, only watch

what M$ is doing. You might have noticed a F W update

Thanks again.

Yes, auto-updates were on - have now adjusted as per your advice. I noted that yesterday an update for Windows Defender was installed and after this my problems began.

Help most appreciated.
