Auto Retry if Scheduled download fail!!!
Hello all,
I have a weekly download of The Economist scheduled in Calibre for Windows (currently v 3.19). For some reason, the scheduled download always fails. When I manually click "Download now" after the initial failure, it works just fine. I have been manually working around this for over a year, but am keen to re-automate the process as I often just forget to do the manual retry. Also, I have found that if I open Calibre and manually initiate a download for the Economist, it fails. If I try a second time straight after, it works. Is there some way to force a retry if the first download fails? Alternatively, is there some way to schedule two downloads on the same day, but just at different times? Other suggestions appreciated. Thanks. |

Figure out why it is failing the first time and fix that? Most likely some antivirus/firewall interfering with the initial connection.

you can do this if you use the command line tools. write a script to automate it.
Code:
ebook-convert "The Economist.recipe" "output_filename.mobi" --output-profile=kindle_oasis |
