Economist Broken?

[leehach]

Anyone having a problem with The Economist? July 2 downloaded fine, but July 9 is erroring out. Don't know where to start in terms of running this down. Error log below.

That's a server error, probably the economist is having problems, give it a few hours and try again. I last downloaded it on the 7th

Exactly right, thanks for the info.
