LRB error

[danceswithcats]

Hello,

I've been happily downloading the London Review of Books subscriber edition for several years, but have got an error today. The key phrase appears to be,

IndexError: list index out of range

I'll post the full error text at the end of this post.

I searched the boards for the error, but they're all rather old and the board forum software recommended starting a new thread.

The steps I took were:

Mounted my Tolino via USB.

Clicked "fetch news"

Searched for London Review of Books

Chose subscriber edition

Clicked "Download now" (My subscription details were already saved).

The job started, then the Calibre window flashed and the error message appeared.

Vexing.

Spoiler:

[kovidgoyal]

If you send me a private message with your london review of books login details, I can take a look. I suggest changing your password before you do and changing it back after I am done.

[franklekens]

Has this been fixed yet? I have the same problem.

[kovidgoyal]

I could not replicate the error, it worked for me.

[franklekens]

Does this error message contain useful information?

What should I do with that?

[franklekens]

Never mind, found it. Yes, this seems to work. Thanks.
