Persistant overdrive error with ADE

grumbles · 01-10-2017, 02:57 PM

I have been getting the following error whenever I try to get a book from the library:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
IO Error on Network Request.
Please check your network connection and try again.

Network Path:
https://acs.cdn.overdrive.com/ACSStore1/0211-1/904/C7F/E0/{xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}Fmt410.epub

Event Detail:
Error #2038
--- end ---

The particular book is irrelevant and I'm getting this error with both the Toronto and Ottawa libraries.

I contacted Overdrive through the library's website and all they did was to tell me to remove the current ADE (version 1.8 something I think) and install ADE 4.5. And that's never ever going to happen!

Any thoughts? I'd rather not reinstall since I have a few purchased items but backing up the digital editions directory with the key solves that problem. My ADE registration is anonymous since I do not trust Adobe with anything as a matter of principal.

I've remained with ADE less than 2.0 since I want to keep the same version that I use with Linux. This version of ADE is installed on Dell netbook running Win 7.

ADE versions before 2.0.1 no longer work with OverDrive (or Google Play).

If you don't want to install the later versions of ADE because of DRM, you can still install version 2.01, which uses the same DRM as version 1.7x.

I think it's also possible to install both ADE 2.01 and ADE 4.x. Use 2.01 for books you buy, and 4.x for borrowing books from the library.

Indeed, installing 2.0.1 fixes the problem. A real error message would have been helpful but would also be so NOT Adobe.

In any case. thanks for the information.
