Error Downloading News

I keep getting this error I am getting this error when attempting to download the Economist It has been working until now.

Conversion Error: Failed: Fetch news from The Economist

I was using Calibre Version 1.47 on a Windows Vista machine. I upgraded to 2.2 and still having the same problem.

Attached are details of the error. I can download from my work computer with no problems.

Can anyone provide any insight into how I can correct this?

Thanks Jim

Something on your computer is blocking calibre, most likely an antivirus or firewall program.

Thank you sir for your reply. I checked the anti-virus and nothing was changed. I paused it and still received the error. I do not have any firewalls in place other than my router. I was able to download another news item (Denver Post) with no problem. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version, removing all of the remaining folders and files. I still get the error with the economist.
Do you have any other ideas that I can try?

Thank you

Jim

Not sure what is causing this, but I got it one day earlier this week as well. I tried manually downloading the economist the next day and it worked fine... did you reboot after reinstalling? I clearly did nothing to my installation, but my PC shuts down each night, so the reboot...
