Irish Times recipe - no longer working

[patrickpc]

Hi there,

I have been using Calibre to download The Irish Times for my Kindle 3 every morning for a couple of months now. It has more or less stopped working in the past week - I can just get the front page articles. Has anyone else had a similar experience ? I can still download other papers including the Irish Independent so I know my PC is working ok.

Any advice or help ?

Thanks,
