Calibre search bug-Project Gutenberg?
Just downloaded the latest Aug Calibre update and wanted to download a PG Wodehouse book from Project Gutenberg who have shedloads of PGW on offer.
Used Getbooks and there was zero response for any Project Gutenberg books at all, which is rather baffling.
Prior to the latest update, I used the same procedure to download from Gutenberg to my Kobo Touch without any hiccups.
NB: The project gutenberg box was ticked to be included in the search options.

is it a bug or is it me?

I tried a search for "Wodehouse" and got 10 matches from PG.

How odd. Thanks for the prompt response. I will go and have another try.

same problem...
Hello,

I can download books just fine directly from project gutenberg, but not from within Calibre. I have read several previous posts, and hope I have not missed something, but I am stumped.

Is it me or did gutenberg change, requiring another Calibre update?
