Both "The Economist News" and "The Economist Espresso" keep failing

[mkgtu]

Both these recipes fail to download and both show the error message:

ValueError: Server is not reachable, try again after some time.
And "trying again after some time" just results in more failures.

I don't have the Espresso scheduled for download but tried it today just to see if it would work. It didn't. But I do have the Economist News scheduled for daily download and the last successful download was over a week ago, March 26th. And prior to that it was kind of hit and miss.

I also have the full Economist Magazine scheduled for weekly download and that one is always successful. Must be a different server from the other two "daily" versions.

Thanks.
Just tried it now and it worked.

Hello Calibre community,

I'm experiencing persistent issues with both "The Economist" and "The Economist Espresso" recipes. The errors have been occurring for more than 20 hours now, and I'm hoping someone might have a solution or insight.

Error Details:

• Both recipes are failing consistently
• Error has persisted for over 20 hours
• Scheduled to fetch content every hour

Thank you,
Liam Parker

Hmm, still failing for me. I'll try again later or tomorrow.
