CNN Recipe

This recipe often downloads links to some of it's news articles, instead of downloading the text itself. Is there a fix for this? It's not serious as you can still access the article if you have network access, but it seems like a bug to me...

Thoes are likely articles that are actually videos, if not, then post a link to one or two such articles.

Yes, some actually are, but not all:

and, maybe the issue is that some include both an article and a video, like this one:

Both those articles are converted perfectly for me.

Not for me. I will see what happens today, as I've already deleted yesterdays.

Edit: same thing still happens. All I get is this in many cases:

Make sure you are using the builtin recipe and not a custom one.

thanks for the quick reply. I am using the built-in recipe, with no modifications by me.
I'm also up to date (it hasn't mattered in this case which has been happening for a while) with Calibre (v 2.48, 64-bit)

Then I dont know what to suggest, I downloaded the full recipe and all articles (barring a few video ones) were present for me.
