NewScientist subscriber-incomplete retrieval

pol098 · 07-08-2011, 02:04 AM

I hope this isn't a FAQ (I couldn't find the answer) and is appropriate. I have a subscription to New Scientist, hence full access to website. When downloading with calibre to read offline, I find only the beginning of most articles is downloaded. If I go to the website I find I am logged in, hence using right name/password in calibre; if I click on an article's URL at the end of the incomplete calibre version it takes me to the full text on the website, hence I have access to it. Is this a restriction in calibre, a restriction imposed by the website, or a problem with the script for this particular publication? Is there anything I can do about it myself (can write software, but not experienced in calibre, RSS, or Python)? This is puzzling but not a priority for me as I get the printed magazine as well as web access. Thanks.
