NY Times problem

[scottsan]

I am using calibre v.0.7.2.4 and mac os 10.6.4.

I tired to fetch the NY Times today and revieived the following error message:
Failed: Fetch news from The New York Times.

Here is the report:

I'm sure someone will drop in to help you out, but for future reference there is a Calibre Recipes sub-forum for these issues.

FWIW, I just download the New York Times Top Stories recipe without a hitch.

I'm having the same problem - with the general NY Times recipe, not the top stories recipe.

I came here looking for a solution too, so I can't be of much help, except to say that it appears to be a problem not specific to you...

I hate that some recipes are prefixed by "The" and others aren't. I too experienced the same error. You might want to put this in the Calibre recipes sub-forum though to get those in the know looking at it.

@scottsan submit a bug report.

[Esquire1]

Same error. I'm also getting a bunch of emails from Amazon this morning, stating that some of my recipes aren't deliverable.

The bug has been posted (and there's also a thread in the recipe dedicated sub-forum, which is where the solution will probably be posted first, if not in the bug thread). The recipe belongs to Griker and I'm sure he'll be along to consider it. It's probably a change at NYT.
