Smithsonian Magazine not working

mkgtu · 12-26-2010, 01:15 PM

Download this once a week. It worked fine on Dec 17. But tried again several times on Dec 24, 25, and 26. Result is just an empty shell, each article "fails to download".
I tried the Smithsonian website and was able to read any article I selected, so they don't seem to have gone behind a pay-wall. But maybe the structure of the website has been altered in such a way that the recipe "does not compute" anymore?
Would hate to lose this one; it makes for fascinating reading.

Edit:
This has now been fixed in newer calibre versions. I have 7.37, but I believe the fix was in 7.35 or 7.36.
Thanks, Kovid.

I also would love to see this working, but I only started using Calibre 2 weeks ago, and have no idea how to edit recipes.
