Al Jazeera in English recipe needs an update?

[NSILMike]

Has worked fine for a long time, but suddenly now only downloads a 0.2MB file, that when opened only includes what I think is a cover page.

Works for me. I'm on Calibre 1.18.0 on Windows and get about 15 articles when running Al Jazeera English.

I'm on 1.18.0 as well. I just tried opening it in Calibre (instead of my device.)
All I get is one page:

Failed feed: AL JAZEERA ENGLISH (AJE)
HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I wonder if we are using the same recipe... All I can find is one, though.
And, the 404 error means the server is there, but can't find the specific content, which to me suggests a broken recipe.

I see I have been using a customised copy, although I think it was probably only the timefmt statement which I added or changed. I do not remember making any change which would effect content extraction.

Hmmmm.... I am stumped then.

Update: I fixed it. I removed it (unchecked 'schedule for download') restarted Calibre and added it back again. Now it works...
